In purchasing food for a political rally, you erroneously order shucked medium-size Pacific oysters (which come 8 to 12 per U.S. pint) instead of shucked medium-size Atlantic oysters (which come 26 to 38 per U.S. pint). The filled oyster container shipped to you has the interior measure of 1.5 m x 18 cm x 28 cm, and a U.S. pint is equivalent to 0.4732 liter. By how many oysters is the order short of your anticipated count? Assume 10 oysters per pint for Pacific oysters and 32 oysters per pint for Atlantic oysters.

Answer:The order is short of 1440 to 2080 oystersStep-by-step explanation:Volume of ship = 150cm × 11cm ×23cm = 37950cm^3 = 37950/1000 = 37.95LI U.S. pint = 0.4732L37.95L = 37.95/0.4732 = 80 U.S. pint (to the nearest whole number)Order contains 8 to 12 oysters per U.S. pint80 U.S. pint contains 8×80 to 12×80 oysters = 640 to 960 oystersAnticipated count should contain 26 to 38 oysters per U.S. pint80 U.S. pint should contain 26×80 to 38×80 oysters = 2080 to 3040 oystersShortage = (2080 - 640) to (3040 - 960) oysters = 1440 to 2080 oysters
