1.19271 liters. The reason for this is 64 fluid ounces is 1.89271 liters and 700 milliliters is equal to 0.7 liters. Take 1.89271 and subtract 0.7 liters and you will get your answer.

Answer: 1.19271 liters

Explanation:

Given: The recommended amount of fluid to adult =64 fluid ounces

We know that 1 fluid ounce = 0.0295735 liters

Then,
64\text{ fluid ounces }=64*0.0295735\\\Rightarrow 64\text{ fluid ounces }=1.89271\ l

Since, Josey has already consumed 700 milliliters of water.

We know that 1 liter = 1000 ml

1 ml=
(1)/(1000) l

Thus, 700 ml =0.7 liters

The required amount of liquid he need to drink more =
1.89271-0.7=1.19271 ml
