Question

Guys!I need your help and answers!Thanks! Lori bought a 2-liter bottle of soda. Yesterday she drank 72 centiliters of the soda. How much of the soda was left? a.1 liter 1 deciliter 4 centiliters b.2 liters 2 deciliters 8 centiliters c.1 liter 7 deciliters 2 centiliters d.1 liter 2 deciliters 8 centiliters

Answer 1

There are 100 centiliters in a liter (centi means 100, think cent as in penny)

Answer 2

So

1 liter = 100 centiliters

2*1 liter = 2*100 centiliters

2 liters = 200 centiliters

Answer 3

If you start off with 2 liters or 200 centiliters, and you drink 72 centiliters, how many centiliters are left?

Answer 4

128..

Answer 5

128 centiliters, good

Answer 6

now we must break that down to get the answer in the form they want

Answer 7

How many full liters are in 128 centiliters?

Answer 8

1

Answer 9

good

Answer 10

subtract off 100 from 128 to get 128 - 100 = 28

So the remaining portion that doesn't go with the full liter (100 centiliters) is 28 centiliters

In other words, we have 28 centiliters left over

Answer 11

how many full deciliters are in 28 centiliters ?

Answer 12

if you're not sure, then

10 deciliters = 1 liter (deci means tenth)

10 deciliters = 100 centiliters ... replace 1 liter with 100 centiliters

1 deciliter = 100/10 centiliters ... divide both sides by 10

1 deciliter = 10 centiliters


In short,

1 deciliter = 10 centiliters
