Question

A bowl has a volume of 2 L 50 mL.
A cup has a volume of 500 mL.
The total volume of the bowl and the cup is mL.

• A. 2500
• B. 2050
• C. 2550
• D. 2000

Answer 1

The correct option is C 2550

$\text{Volume of the bowl = 2 L 50 mL}$
$\text{Volume of the cup = 500 mL}$

$\text{To calculate the total volume, we}$ $\text{have to add the volume of the cup and the volume of the bowl.}$

$\text{Let's convert liters}$ $\text{to milliliters.}$

$\text{We know that,}$
$\text{1 liter =}$ $\text{1,000 milliliters}$


$\text{Hence, we will multiply 2 with 1,000.}$

$\text{So, 2 L}=2\times 1\text{L}$
$=2\times 1000\text{mL}$
$=2,000\text{mL}$

$\text{2 L 50 mL = 2 L + 50 mL}$
$\text{= 2,000 mL + 50 mL}$
$\text{= 2,050 mL}$

$\text{Now, let's add the volume of both,}$ $\text{bowl and the cup:}$


$\text{The total volume of the bowl and cup}$ $\text{is 2,550 mL.}$
