Answer:

9.5 liters

Explanation:

The volume of each drink that Ally bought is:

• Lemonade: 4 liters

,

• Iced tea: 3,000 milliliters

,

• Fruit Punch: 2,500 milliliters

Since we are required to find the total in liters, convert the volumes given in milliliters to liters.


\begin{gathered} 1000\text{ milliliters}=1\text{ liters} \\ \implies1\text{ milliliter}=(1)/(1000)\text{ liter} \end{gathered}

Therefore:


\begin{gathered} 3000\text{ milliliter}=(3000)/(1000)=3\text{ liter} \\ 2500\text{ m}\imaginaryI\text{ll}\imaginaryI\text{l}\imaginaryI\text{ter}=(2500)/(1,000)=2.5\text{ l}\imaginaryI\text{ter} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the total volume in liters will be:


4+3+2.5=9.5\text{ liters}

Ally bought 9.5 liters of drinks in total.
