Answer 1

Martha drank 1328mL or 1.328 Litres more of diet coke

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step in solving this problem is to convert the two quantities to the same units.

For this problem, we can choose to work in milliliters.

Converting 7.04L to milliliters

To do this we simply multiply by 1000 because 1000mL makes one Litre.

7.04 X 1000 = 7040 mL

Once the two quantities are in the same units, the next step is to subtract them.

7040 mL - 5712 mL = 1328mL

Therefore Martha drank 1328mL or 1.328 Litres more of diet coke
