Final answer:

The total liquid intake for the three meals is 670 mL, which is the sum of the volumes of coffee, juice, and diet soda consumed for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total liquid intake from the three beverages consumed during the day, we simply need to add the volumes of coffee, juice, and diet soda together. The person drank 180 milliliters of coffee for breakfast, 240 milliliters of juice for lunch, and 250 milliliters of diet soda for dinner.


  • Breakfast: 180 mL

  • Lunch: 240 mL

  • Dinner: 250 mL

Add them up: 180 mL + 240 mL + 250 mL = 670 mL. So, the total liquid intake for these three meals is 670 mL, which corresponds to option A).

As an additional example, 1 liter of liquid is the same as 1000 milliliters, and a typical adult will consume about 2500 mL (2.5 liters) of aqueous fluids in a day.
