Question

Ed fills his sports bottle with 1.2 liters of water. After his bike ride, he drinks 200 milliliters of the water. How much water is left in Ed's sports bottle?

Answer 1

1 L or 1,000 mL

Explanation:

Since Ed filled the bottle up with 1.2 L of water and he drank 200 mL, we need to have one same unit. I would change 1.2 L to milliliters by doing 1.2x1,000=12,000. Then I do 12,000-200=1,000mL. 1,000mL=1L. So the answer is 1L or 1,000mL.

Answer 2

The question is asking us to find how much water is left in the bottle after Ed drinks 200 mililiters of the water. We know that 1 liter = 1,000 mililiters. So 1.2 liters = 1,200 mililiters. And after he drinks 200 mililiters: 1,200 - 200 = 1,000 mililiters. It is also 1 liter. Answer: There is 1,000 mililiters or 1 liter left in Ed`s sports bottle.
