Question

Marie prepared strawberry juice and pours it into containers of different capacities. She used a container of 350 mL, two containers of 500 mL each, and three containers of 250 mL each. What is the total quantity of strawberry juice prepared?

Answer 1

Let us find the total quantity of juice in milliliters.


$\therefore$ Total quantity of juice
= 750 mL + 350 mL + 1000 mL
= 2100 mL

To convert milliliters to liters, let us look at the chart given below.


Since liters lies 3 units above milliliters, we need to divide by 1000 to convert milliliters to liters.

$\therefore 1\text{mL}=\frac{1}{1000}\text{L}$

$\therefore 2100\text{mL}=\frac{2100}{1000}\text{L}$

When dividing by 1000, we move three places to the left of the decimal point.

$\therefore \frac{2100}{1000}=2.1$

$\therefore 2100\text{mL}=2.1\text{L}$

Thus, Marie prepared 2.1 liters of strawberry juice.
