Question

Rosy filled 12 pots with water. She put 750 mL of water in each pot. How much water (in liters) did she put in all the pots?

• A. 8 L
• B. 8.5 L
• C. 9 L
• D. 9.5 L

Answer 1

The correct option is C 9 L

Amount of water in one pot = 750 mL
Number of pots = 12

$\text{∴ Water required for 12 pots}$ $\text{= 750 mL}\times \text{12}$

Multiplying the numbers, we get:


So, Rosy puts 9,000 mL in 12 pots.

Since all the options are in liters, let's convert this into liters.

$\text{We know, 1 L = 1,000 mL}$

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

$⟹9,000mL=\frac{9000}{1000}L=9L$

$\text{Hence, Rosy puts 9 L of water in 12 pots.}$
