Answer:

A) Halle drink 1/2 of the bottle after school starts, but before lunch.

B) 250 milliliters are left in the bottle at lunch?

Explanation:

She drinks one fourth f the bottle before school starts

= 1/4 of 1 litre

= 1/4 litre

Amount left after drinking before school starts

= 1 - 1/4

Amount left = 3/4 litre

Fraction of the bottle Halle drink after school starts, but before lunch =

= two third of the rest before lunch

= 2/3 of Amount left

= 2/3 of 3/4

= 2/3 x 3/4 = 1/2 litre

left in the bottle at lunch

= 1 - (1/4 + 1/2)

= 1/4 litre

Since 1 litre = 1000millilitre

1/4 litre = 250millilitre
