Question

Each day a bobcat drinks about 3 times as much water as a Canada goose drinks. If the Canada goose drinks 0.24 liters of water each day, how much can a bobcat drink in one day? Convert the answer to mL.

Answer 1

Bobcat can drink 720 mL of water in one day

Explanation:

Amount of water a Canada goose drinks in a day = 0.24 L

According to the question each day a Bobcat drinks about 3 times as much water as a Canada goose drinks.

= 0.72 L

= 0.72 × 1000 mL

= 720 mL
