Solution
The correct option is A 1.875 375 mL, 500 mL, 250 ml and 750 ml are in milliliters.
First Method:
Let's convert them into liters and finally add them.
We know that 1000 ml = 1 L ⇒1mL=11000L=0.001L
375 mL = 375×0.001=0.375 L
500 mL = 500×0.001=0.5 L
250 mL = 250×0.001=0.25 L
750 mL = 750×0.001=0.75 L
Total quantity of juice in liters =0.375L+0.5L+0.25L+0.75L=1.875L
Second method:
We first add the quantities in milliliters and then convert the result into liters.
Total quantity of juice in milliliters
= 375 mL + 500 mL + 250 mL + 750 mL
=1875 mL
