Question

Teresa has 800 milliliters of water. Sara has 5 liters of water. Without converting units, tell why Sara has more water than Teresa. Then show how much more water more Sara has.

Answer 1

Explanation:

You can't do this without some conversion of units. You can do it with just the definition of a Liter

1 Liter has 1000 mL

1000mL > 800 mL

5 Liters requires a conversion

5 Liters = 5 * 1000 = 5000 mL

Difference = Sara - Teresa use to determine how much more Sara has

Difference = 5000 - 800

Difference = 4200

Sara has 4200 more mL than Teresa
