Question 858691: A patient drank 1/3 cup of water, 6 ounces of broth, and 1/2 cup of milk. Using the conversions, one cup = 8 ounces, and i ounce = 30 milliliters, how many milliliters did the patient drink? Answer by LinnW(1048) (Show Source):

((1/3)*(8) + 6 + (1/2)*(8))*30 = number of milliliters
( 8/3 + 6 + 8/2 ) * 30
( 8/3 + 6/1 + 4/1 ) * 30
Multiply 6/1 by 3/3 and 4/1 by 3/3
(8/3 + 18/3 + 12/3 ) * 30
38/3 * 30
1140/3
380 milliliters
