Alcohol question.

Lets say person "A" drank 4 Liters of beer that has 5% alcohol content and person "B" drank 1.8 Liters of beer that has 16.8% alcohol content and person "C" drank 1.3 Liters of beer that has 16.8% alcohol content as well as 3 additional shots of whisky (30 ml each shot) that has 45% alcohol content. Is it possible to know how many liters person B and C drank in terms of person A (that is how many liters did they drank if converted to 5% alcohol content)? Also, who drank the "heaviest" out of those three people?

this isn't homework or anything... just a random question lol.

Explanation / Answer

Person A : drank 4 lit that has 5% alchol

means alchol consumed = 4*5/100 = 0.2 Lit

person B: drank 1.8 lit that has 16.8% alchol

means alchol consumed = 1.8*16.8/100 = 0.3024 Lit

Person C:

drank 1.3 lit that has 16.8% alchol

means alchol consumed = 1.3*16.8/100 = 0.2184 Lit

and also 3 shots of whisky

therefore, alchol consumed 3*30*45/100 = 40.5 ml

total alchol consumed = 0.2184+0.0405 = 0.2589 L

person A : 1 lit contains 0.05 l acohol

so that B,C drank 0.2589+0.3024 = 0.5613 L

therefore,

No of litre of drink taken by B,C interms of A = 0.5613/0.05 = 11.226 L
