Tanya buys 12 water bottles. Of these bottles, 5 hold 300 milliliters each and 7 hold 1.5 liters each. Part A How much water, in milliliters, does Tanya buy? Enter your answer in the box.​ Part B How much water, in liters, does Tanya buy? ​Enter your answer in the box.​

Answer 1

Part A: To calculate the total amount of water Tanya buys in milliliters, we need to calculate the sum of the water in the 300 milliliter bottles and the 1.5-liter bottles.

The number of 300 milliliter bottles is 5, and each bottle holds 300 milliliters. So, the total water from the 300 milliliter bottles is:

5 bottles * 300 milliliters/bottle = 1500 milliliters

The number of 1.5-liter bottles is 7, and each bottle holds 1.5 liters, which is equivalent to 1500 milliliters. So, the total water from the 1.5-liter bottles is:

7 bottles * 1500 milliliters/bottle = 10500 milliliters

To find the total amount of water in milliliters, we add the amounts from the two types of bottles:

1500 milliliters + 10500 milliliters = 12000 milliliters

Therefore, Tanya buys 12,000 milliliters of water.

Part B: To calculate the total amount of water Tanya buys in liters, we divide the total amount of water in milliliters by 1000 (since there are 1000 milliliters in a liter).

12000 milliliters / 1000 = 12 liters

Therefore, Tanya buys 12 liters of water.
