Math Problem Statement

The approximate volume in milliliters, m, for a volume of f fluid ounces is equal to 29.57 times the value of f. Which table represents this relationship?

Solution

The question states that the volume in milliliters, mm, for a volume of ff fluid ounces is equal to 29.57×f29.57 \times f. This gives us the formula:

m=29.57×fm = 29.57 \times f

Let's analyze each table option based on this formula:

  • Table A:

    f = 1, &\quad m = 29.57 \times 1 = 29.57 \\ f = 2, &\quad m = 29.57 \times 2 = 59.14 \\ f = 3, &\quad m = 29.57 \times 3 = 88.71 \\ f = 4, &\quad m = 29.57 \times 4 = 118.28 \\ \end{aligned}$$ This table matches the equation perfectly.
  • Table B: The values for ff and mm are swapped, so it does not match the equation.

  • Table C:

    f = 1, &\quad m = 29.57 \quad (\text{correct}) \\ f = 2, &\quad m = 59.14 \quad (\text{correct}) \\ f = 3, &\quad m = 88.71 \quad (\text{correct}) \\ \end{aligned}$$ But $$f = 4$$ is missing, so this table is incomplete.
  • Table D: This table also swaps the values for ff and mm, so it does not match.

Conclusion: The correct answer is Table A, as it properly reflects the equation m=29.57×fm = 29.57 \times f.
