Question

A jug contains 5 L and 125 mL of juice. Ten 250 mL juice glasses are filled with the juice from the jug. What is the amount of juice left in the jug?

Answer 1

Quantity of juice in the jug = 5 L 125 mL

Juice consumed = 10 x 250 mL = 2500 mL
But 1 L = 1000 mL
Hence 2500 mL = 2000 mL + 500 mL = 2 L 500 mL

L mL
Juice left in the jug = 5 125
(-) 2 500
-------------
2 625
-------------
$\therefore$ 2 L and 625 mL of juice is left in the jug.
