Question

Bonita bought a 1-liter bottle of liquid plant food. She fed a different plant each day for 10 days. Each plant was fed 20-milliliters of plant food. How many milliliters of liquid plant food are left in the bottle after 10 days

Answer 1

If Bonita fed 20 milliliters of plant food to a plant each day, then she used a total of 20 milliliters/day x 10 days = 200 milliliters of plant food over the 10-day period.

Since the bottle contained 1 liter of plant food, which is equivalent to 1000 milliliters, the amount of plant food left after the 10 days is:

1000 milliliters - 200 milliliters = 800 milliliters

Therefore, there are 800 milliliters of liquid plant food left in the bottle after 10 days.
