Answer 1

Given data:

The amount of special drink for party is A=2 l.

The amount of canberry juice is c=0.35 l.

The amount of water is w=1.2 l.

The total amount of juice is,

t=c+w

=0.35 l+1.2 l

=1.55 l

The given amount less than 2 l .

A-t=2 l-1.55

=0.45 l

Thus, the given juice is less than 2 litre of special drink by 0.45 litre.
