• B. $\text{2,500 mL}$
• C. $\text{1,500 mL}$
• D. $\text{1,250 mL}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\text{1,250 mL}$

$\text{The jug has 4 measuring cups and}$ $\text{250 ml of water.}$

$\text{We have to find the total amount of}$ $\text{water in the jug in milliliters.}$

$\text{As we know that,}$
$\text{1 measuring cup = 250 milliliters (ml)}$

$\text{Hence, 4 measuring cups will be}$ $\text{equal to:}$

$⟹\text{4}\times 250\text{= 1,000 ml}$

$\text{Total amount of water in the jug:}$
$\text{1,000 ml + 250 ml = 1,250 ml}$

$\text{Thus, the jug contains 1,250 ml}$ $\text{of water.}$
