Answer 1

Hello there. To solve this question, we have to remember some properties about conversion of values.

1. How many 2-liter bottles of soda will you need to fill ten 500 mililiter containers?

First, multiply the number of containers by its capacity, that is

`10\cdot500=5000\text{ mililiters}`

Notice that 1000 mililiters is equivalent to 1 liter, hence

`5000\text{ mililiters }=5\text{ liters}`

To fill these containers with 2-liter bottles of soda, you'll need at least 3 bottles.

The answer to the first question is 3.

2. How many mililiter are 1/5 liter?

Considering 1 liter = 1000 mililiters, we have that

`(1)/(5)\text{ liter }=(1)/(5)\cdot1000\text{ mililiters }=200\text{ mililiter}`

Hence the answer to this question is 2. 200
