Answer:

False because 2 liters = 2,000 milliliters. Therefore that is not possible.

To consider whether this statement is true or not

⇒ must determine the number of milliliters in a liter

1 Liter = 1000 milliliter

To compare both containers, lets set both containers in terms of milliliters

  • Container 1 --> 2 Liter Capacity --> 2000 milliliter
  • Container 2 --> 3000 milliliter

By looking at the data

⇒ the 3000-milliliter container holds more than the2-liter container

Thus, the statement: A 2-liter container holds more than a 3,000-milliliter container

False

Answer: False

Hope that helps!
