Question

A juice jar has 1000 mL of juice. Estimate the capacity of the juice jar.

• A. 1500 mL
• B. 1000 mL
• C. 5000 mL
• D. 4000 mL

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1500 mL

$\bullet$ The current volume of juice in the juice jar is 1000 mL.

$\bullet$ The jar can hold 500 mL more juice which is half of the current volume of juice.

$\bullet$ So, 1000 mL + 500 mL = 1500 mL

$\bullet$ Therefore, the estimated capacity of the juice jar is $\text{1500 mL}$.

Hence, option D is correct.
