Question

Lori bought a 3-liter bottle of soda. Yesterday she drank 72 centiliters of the soda. How much of the soda was left? a:2 liters 7 deciliters 2 centiliters b:1 liter 2 deciliters 8 centiliters c:2 liters 2 deciliters 8 centiliters d:2 liters 1 deciliter 4 centiliters

Answer 1

There are 100 centilitres in a liter, like there are 100 centimeters in a meter. So first, convert 3 liters to centiliters by multiplying it by 100--300 centiliters. Then, subtract 300-72= 228 centiliters
