Answer:

630 milliliters

Step-by-step explanation:

Total water in the watering can = 980 milliliters

Water used to water the plants = x millimeters

Water left in the can = 350 milliliters

Total water in the watering can = Water used to water the plants + Water left in the can

980 = x + 350

980 - 350 = x

x = 630 milliliters

Water used to water the plants = 630 milliliters

Fraction used = Water used to water the plants / Total water in the watering can

= 630 milliliters / 980 milliliters

= 63/98

= 9/14
