Question

Out of 1 litre , $\frac{1}{2}$th of the juice is spilled while Sarah drinks another $\frac{1}{4}$th. How much juice (in litres) will be left in the bottle?

• A. 500 mL
• B. 750 mL
• C. 250 mL

Answer 1

The correct option is C 250 mL

Total amount of juice= 1 L = 1000 mL
Amount of juice spilled= ½ L = 500mL
Amount of juice Sarah drank = ¼ L = 250mL
Remaining juice = 1000mL - (500 mL + 250 mL)
= 1000mL - 750mL
= 250 mL
