Transcript text: Which unit would be most appropriate: liters, milliliters, or kiloliters?
The amount of coffee that one McDonald's location serves between 7 and 8 A.M.
Solution
Determine the most appropriate unit for measuring the amount of coffee served at one McDonald's location between 7 and 8 A.M.
Consider the scale of the measurement
The amount of coffee served at a McDonald's location during a busy hour (7-8 A.M.) is likely to be significant but not extremely large. Liters are a reasonable unit for such a measurement, as milliliters would be too small and kiloliters too large.
Evaluate the practicality of each unit
Milliliters (mL): Too small for measuring large quantities of coffee.
Liters (L): Suitable for measuring moderate to large quantities, such as the amount of coffee served in an hour.
Kiloliters (kL): Too large for this context, as it is typically used for industrial or municipal-scale measurements.
The most appropriate unit is \\(\boxed{\text{liters}}\\).
