Complete question :

A cooler contains 4 L of water. The cooler has marks on it at every 0.2 L. Water bottles are filled with water from the cooler, and each bottle holds approximately 4/9L. After 4 water bottles are filled, between which two marks is the water level in the cooler? Show your work.

Answer:

2.2 - 2.4 Litre

Explanation:

Capacity of cooler = 4L

Marking on cooler = every 0.2L

Capacity of bottle = 4/9 L

Number of bottles filled = 4

Total volume filled = (4/9) * 4 = 16/9 L = 1.78L

Volume of water left in tank :

(4 - 1.78)Litre

= 2.22 litres

Since, the tank is marked at 0.2 L interval ; the water level will be between 2.20 to 2.40 litres
