i am not sure on how to set the equation algebraicly but this is how I see it...
since there are 1000mililiters in 1 liter and there are 2 litters I would 1st miltiply 2x1000=2000ml
now we can divide 2000/400=5friends so she will need to fill out one more time to serve the other 5 friends.
so she will need to fill out one time.
hope the helps
