Question

Natalia has three beakers of chemical solutions for her science project. She wants to know the volume of the solution in beaker C. Help her find it.

• A. 833 mL
• B. 750 mL
• C. 1 L 500 mL
• D. 1 L 50 mL

Answer 1

The correct option is B 750 mL

The volume of solution in beaker A is 2 L 500 mL.

We know, 1 L = 1000 mL.

So, 2 L 500 mL can be written as:
2 L 500 mL = 2 × 1000 + 500
= 2500 mL

It is given that the volume of beaker B is half of the volume of beaker A.

So, volume of beaker B
$=\frac{1}{2}\times 2500=1250\text{mL}$

Also, the volume of beaker C is three-fifth of the volume of beaker B.

So, volume of beaker C
$=\frac{3}{5}\times 1250=750\text{mL}$


Hence, the volume of the solution in beaker C is 750 mL.
