Question

Josiah needs to fill his 40 liter fish tank with water. He has already put in 34 1/4 liters of water. How many MILLILITERS of water does he need to add?

Answer 1

First you need to know what
`34 1/4` is in a decimal. It will equal
`34.25`.
Then you need to know how many liters equal a millimeter.
`0.001` liters equal a millimeter, or in other words
`1,000` millimeters equals a liter.
Next you multiply, which you should know if that is
`1,000` then you just fill the multiplication problem with
`0`. As in this equation if you multiply
`34` to
`1,000`, you'll get
`34,000`. So if you do
`34.24`... it will change into
`34,250`. If it was in a cubic way it would be
`34,250,000`. So the answer is
`34,250`, or
`34,250,000`. But we're not finished until were done subtracting to get out answer.

`40` liters equals
`40,000` millimeters,
`40,000` -
`34,250`... which is
`5,750`.
