Question

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The total capacity of a jug is 2500 mL. 1/4 L of the jug is already filled with water.
How much more water is required to fill the jug completely?

• A. 2250 mL
• B. 2000 mL
• C. 2150 mL
• D. 2200 mL

Answer 1

The correct option is A 2250 mL

$\text{Capacity of the tank}$ $\text{= 2,500 mL}$

$\text{Water available in the jug}$ $\text{=}\frac{1}{4}\text{L}$

$\text{First of all, let's convert}$ $\text{liters to milliliters.}$

$\text{We know that,}$
$\text{1 liter =}$ $\text{1,000 milliliters}$


$\text{So we will multiply}\frac{1}{4}\text{with 1,000.}$

$\frac{1}{4}\text{L =}$ $\frac{1}{4}$ $\times$ $\text{1 L}$

$=$ $\frac{1}{4}$ $\times$ $\text{1000 mL}$

$=250\text{mL}$

$\text{Hence, out of 2,500 mL capacity}$ $\text{of the jug, 250 mL is already filled.}$

$\text{Now we have to find the remaining}$ $\text{amount of water to be filled in}$ $\text{the jug.}$

$\text{Amount of water required to be filled}$ $\text{= Total capacity - water available}$


$\text{Thus, 2,250 mL of water is required}$ $\text{to be filled in the jug.}$
