Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale 1: First add up the total volume of intake in mL or 120 + 240 + 240 + 80 + 500 = 1180 mL. Once you have done this, use dimensional analysis to solve the problem. L/shift = 1 L/1000mL x 1180 mL/1 shift. Multiply the numerators (1 x 1180 = 1180). Multiply the denominators (1000 x 1 = 1000). 1180/1000 = 1.18 L.
