Question

David brought a 2 liters bottle of lemon juice with him. He drank one and forty thousandths of a liter of the juice from it. How much lemon juice is left in the bottle?

• A. ninety six hundredth of a liter
• B. one and ninety six hundredth of a liter
• C. ninety six tenth of a liter
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A ninety six hundredth of a liter

We can write one and forty thousandths of a liter in standard form as
1 L + $(\frac{40}{1000}{)}^{th}$ L

= 1 L + 0.040 L
= 1.04 L
David drank 1.04 L of lemon juice.
$\therefore$ Quantity of lemon juice left in the bottle = 2 L - 1.04 L = 0.96 L
which is ninety six hundredths of a liter.
