• A. 1,500 mL
• B. 1,750 mL
• C. 1,450 mL
• D. 1,900 mL

Answer 1

The correct option is B 1,750 mL

Amount of water in watering can = 4 L

Water used for watering the plants = 2,250 mL

Converting L into mL, we get:


1 L = 1,000 mL
∴ 4 L = 4 × 1,000 mL = 4,000 mL

After watering the plants, the water left in the can = 4,000 mL – 2,250 mL
= 1,750 mL

Hence, the water left in the can = 1,750 mL
