How to explain obscurely-worded questions?

Look on the label: it will give either volume or weight in either Imperial or metric units, so to convert find the relevant formula.

To share the contents in 3 equal parts, use either a balance or a measuring-jug, but to be honest it will be just as accurate to count spoonfuls or depths in similar dishes!

NB: don't try to mix units of mass with those of volume: that won't work!

What is metric measurment?

Metric measurement is a system of measurement used worldwide that is based on units such as meters, liters, and grams. It provides a common language for measuring quantities like length, volume, and mass accurately. The metric system uses prefixes to easily scale measurements up or down by powers of 10, making conversions straightforward.


How many countries have not officially adopted the metric system of measurement?

As of now, only three countries have not officially adopted the metric system: the United States, Liberia, and Myanmar. While the U.S. uses the imperial system predominantly, it also allows for metric measurements in certain contexts. Liberia and Myanmar have historically used non-metric systems but have shown interest in transitioning to the metric system.


What is a metric unit of volume using length called?

The metric unit of volume is meter squared: m3.


Why is the metric system preferred over the English system for scientific measurements?

Because the metric system bases all of its units of measurements on powers of ten, it is much easier to perform mathematical calculations with the metric system than with the English system, which uses a variety of seemingly random ratios of one unit to the next. A mile is equal to 5,280 feet. A yard is three feet, a foot is twelve inches. And so forth. It makes for needlessly complicated calculations.


What is the two letter abbreviation for the metric system?

I think you are referring to SI, the international standard of measurement units agreed upon by the international scientific community. SI does not stand for the metric system per se, but it is not surprising that all of the SI units are metric since the world's preference for the metric system is almost universal. Currently there are only three countries in which the metric system is not the standard system of measurements.

What are the ingredients in a triple drink cocktail?

A triple drink cocktail typically contains three different types of alcohol, such as vodka, rum, and tequila, along with mixers like fruit juice or soda.


What cocktails can be made using a cocktail machine?

You can make any type of cocktail with these machines. Cocktail machines usually come in single, double and triple bowl varieties. So it is possible to have three different flavours on one machine. Flavours are usually a fruit mix, that can be mixed with alcohol as well.
