Conversions - Middle school

During Stephanie’s graduation party, her mom mixed ½ liter of Orange juice, ¼ liter of Cranberry juice, and ¾ liter of Pineapple juice in a punch ball. How many milliliters of juice did Stephanie’s mom mix in the ball?

a. 0.0015 milliliters
b. 1.5 milliliters
c. 150 milliliters
d. 1500 milliliters

Answer: d

Explanation:
1 liter = 1000 milliliter
.
Therefore to be able to solve the problem we must find out the total liters that Stephanie’s mom mixed and then convert them to milliliters as follows:
½ + ¼ + ¾ = 1.5 liters
1.5 Liters x [1000 milliliter / 1 Liter] = 1500 milliliters
