Question

Ally bought 4 liters of lemonade, 3,000 milliliters of iced tea, and 2,500 milliliters of fruit punch. How many liters of drinks in total did she buy?

Answer 1

Answer:

9.5 liters

Explanation:

The volume of each drink that Ally bought is:

• Lemonade: 4 liters

,

• Iced tea: 3,000 milliliters

,

• Fruit Punch: 2,500 milliliters

Since we are required to find the total in liters, convert the volumes given in milliliters to liters.

$\begin{gathered} 1000\text{ milliliters}=1\text{ liters} \\ \implies1\text{ milliliter}=\frac{1}{1000}\text{ liter} \end{gathered}$

Therefore:

$\begin{gathered} 3000\text{ milliliter}=\frac{3000}{1000}=3\text{ liter} \\ 2500\text{ m}\imaginaryI\text{ll}\imaginaryI\text{l}\imaginaryI\text{ter}=\frac{2500}{1,000}=2.5\text{ l}\imaginaryI\text{ter} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the total volume in liters will be:

$4+3+2.5=9.5\text{ liters}$

Ally bought 9.5 liters of drinks in total.
