Question

Hayley wants to be a marine biologist when she grows up. Her entire room is ocean-themed, so she is painting her bed frame blue to match. She estimates that she will need 800 milliliters of paint, but the hardware store only sells paint in liters. If Hayley buys 1 liter of paint, how many milliliters will she have left?

Answer 1

305

Explanation:

There are 1,000 milliliters in 1 liter.solveYou need to find how many milliliters of blue paint Annie has left. But first, you need to know how many milliliters she started with.There are 1,000 milliliters in a liter, so multiply 0.5 liters by 1,000.0.5×1,000=500Annie started with 500 milliliters of blue paint.Now, add to find how much blue paint Annie used for her beach painting. She used 75 milliliters of blue paint for the sky and 120 milliliters for the ocean.75+120=195Annie used 195 milliliters of blue paint in all.Now, find how much blue paint Annie has left. She started with 500 milliliters. Subtract the 195 milliliters she used.500–195=305Annie has 305 milliliters of blue paint left.
