I do after school tutoring for Math and Science. Whenever I come across a problem or strategy I like, I post it here. I am also working on a series called "The Math of 'The Martian'" In which I pull out Jr High and High School level Math and Science problems from the book "The Martian"

The math of "The Martian" Sol 16
Mark needs to add water to the Martian soil before he can add bacteria
to it. Because the Hab has a water reclaimer each person only needs 50
liters of water to survive indefinitely. Given that, how much water did
NASA send with them for the mission? If soil needs 40 Liters of water
per Cubic meter, how much water will he need, including 50 liters for
himself?
