Question

A fruit vendor have fruit juice in different containers of capacity 240 mL, 550 mL, 150 ml and 650 ml. How many liters of juice does the vendor have in total?

• A. 1.59

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1.59
240 mL, 550 mL, 150 ml and 650 ml are in milliliters.

Let's convert them into liters and finally add them.

We know that 1000 ml = 1 L
$\Rightarrow$ 1 mL = 0.001 L

• 240 mL = $240\times 0.001=0.24$ L
• 550 mL = $550\times 0.001=0.55$ L
• 150 mL = $150\times 0.001=0.15$ L
• 650 mL = $650\times 0.001=0.65$ L

Total quantity of juice in liters
$=0.24\text{L}+0.55\text{L}+0.15\text{L}+0.65\text{L}=1.59\text{L}$

Alternate Solution:
We can add the quantities in milliliters and finally convert the result into liters.

Total quantity of juice in milliliters
= 240 mL + 550 mL + 150 mL + 650 mL
=1590 mL

Now, $1590\text{mL}=\frac{1590}{1000}\text{L}=1.59\text{L}$
