Question

A science experiment calls for a mixture of 400 mL of liquid A, 2.5 L of liquid B, 650 mL of liquid C, and 1 L of liquid D. Which of the following is the smallest size beaker you could use for this experiment?

4L

6L

5L

7L

Answer 1

5L.

Explanation:

This is because there are 1000 mL in an L so .4 + 2.5 + .65 + 1 = 4.55 which is then rounded up to 5L.
