Answer: Each bottle contains 360 milliliters.

Explanation:

Let's call the amount of milliliters in each bottle "x".

Fubara has 3 full bottles, so the total amount of milliliters she has is 3x. She also has 20 milliliters more, bringing her total to 3x + 20.

Dayo has 2 full bottles, so the total amount of milliliters he has is 2x. He also has 140 milliliters more, bringing his total to 2x + 140.

Since they have the same amount of orange drink, we can set the two expressions equal to each other:

3x + 20 = 2x + 140

Subtracting 2x from both sides:

x + 20 = 140

Subtracting 20 from both sides:

x = 120

So each bottle contains 360 milliliters.
