Question

A pitcher contains 2 liters of juice. A glass is filled with 180 milliliters of juice from the pitcher. How many milliliters of juice are left in the pitcher after filling the glass?  

1. Tell how many milliliters of juice are left in the pitcher after filling the glass. 
2. Explain each step in solving the problem. 
3. Write an equation that represents the problem.  

Please help!! Thank you!

Answer 1

1L=1000ml

so. 2L =2000ml

Now we calculate the remaining juice after filling the glass

SO 2000ml-180ml= 1820ml .

The size of juice left in the pitcher is 1820ml.

Answer 2

1) First we need to know how many mL in 1L --> 1000mL=1L

1a) therefore a 2L pitcher equals 2000mL

2) A glass is filled with 180 milliliters of juice from the pitcher (which has 2000mL of juice)

2a) so 2000mL - 180mL = 1820mL remaining in pitcher
