Final answer:

To find the cost of 200 ml of olive oil, calculate the price per ml by dividing the cost per liter by 1000, then multiply by 200. The cost for 200 ml of olive oil is £0.70.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of 1 liter of olive oil is £3.50. To find out the cost of 200 ml, which is 0.2 liters (since 1 liter equals 1000 ml), we can set up a proportion or use unitary method to calculate the price per milliliter, and then multiply by 200.

First, we find the cost per milliliter:

£3.50 per 1000 ml = £3.50 / 1000 = £0.0035 per ml.

Then, we multiply this by 200 to find the cost for 200 ml:

£0.0035 per ml * 200 ml = £0.70.

Therefore, 200 ml of olive oil would cost £0.70.
