Understanding the Conversion Factor
We know the following conversion factor:
- 1 liter (L) = 33.8 fluid ounces (fl oz).
This is a standard conversion for liquid measurements, and we will use it to compare the volume of the 16.9 fl oz water bottle to a liter.
Determine How Many Bottles Equal 1 Liter
To find out how many 16.9 fl oz bottles make up 1 liter, we need to divide 1 liter by the volume of one bottle.
- 1 liter = 33.8 fluid ounces.
- The volume of one bottle is 16.9 fluid ounces.
To calculate the number of bottles:
Number of bottles=Volume of one bottle1 liter=16.9 fl oz33.8 fl oz
Perform the Division
Now, let’s divide 33.8 by 16.9:
16.933.8≈2
Conclusion:
- Two 16.9 fl oz water bottles equal 1 liter.
In other words, 16.9 fluid ounces is just slightly less than half of a liter (since 33.8 fluid ounces is exactly 1 liter), so two bottles of 16.9 fl oz would give you very close to 1 liter.
