Chapter 1, Problem 59P
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 1.0 m × 12 cm × 20 cm. and a U.S. pint is equivalent to 0.4732 liter. By how many oysters is the order short of your anticipated count?
