Final answer:
To find out how many milliliters are in 3 buckets where each bucket holds 2.5 liters, you convert 2.5 liters to 2,500 milliliters and then multiply by 3 to get a total of 7,500 milliliters.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks how many milliliters three buckets would hold if one bucket holds 2.5 liters. To find the answer, we need to convert liters to milliliters and then multiply by the number of buckets. One liter is equivalent to 1,000 milliliters, so 2.5 liters is equivalent to 2,500 milliliters. Since we have three buckets of this size, we multiply 2,500 milliliters by 3.
2.5 liters × 1,000 = 2,500 milliliters per bucket
2,500 milliliters/bucket × 3 buckets = 7,500 milliliters
All three buckets combined would hold a total of 7,500 milliliters.
