Final answer:

Jose had 2 liters of juice and after pouring out 200 milliliters, he is left with 1.8 liters of juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jose had a jug containing 2 liters of juice and poured out 200 milliliters. To find out how much juice is left in the jug, we need to work with the same units. Since 1 liter is equivalent to 1,000 milliliters, we convert 2 liters into milliliters, which is 2,000 milliliters. Subtracting the 200 milliliters that Jose poured out, we find:

  • 2 liters = 2,000 milliliters
  • 2,000 milliliters - 200 milliliters = 1,800 milliliters

Now, we convert 1,800 milliliters back to liters to get the final amount in the same unit as the original quantity, which is liters. To convert back, we divide by 1,000.

  • 1,800 milliliters ÷ 1,000 = 1.8 liters

Jose is left with 1.8 liters of juice in the jug.
