Answer:

83.33 milliliters

Step by step explanation:

2L = 2000 ml Change the liters to milliliters first

2000 ml : 24 hours

x ml : 1 hour

Next you cross multiply : 2000 × 1 hour = 2000 and 24 × x = 24x

Then you divide:


(24x)/(24) : (2000)/(24)

x : 83.3333333...

When this is rounded off it is equal to 83.33
