Question

Tom made 5,000 mL of soup. He packed 2.5 liters of the soup in his kids' lunches. He froze the rest of the soup. How many milliliters of soup did Tom have left to freeze?

Answer 1

Amount of frozen soup = 2500 mL

Explanation:

We are told that tom made 5,000 mL of soup.

We are also told he packed 2.5 Litres into his kids' lunches.

Now, from conversions,

1 liter = 1000 mL

Thus,

2.5 litres = 2.5 × 1000 = 2500 mL

Now, we are told he froze the rest of the soup.

Thus;

Amount of frozen soup = total amount of soup made - amount given to kids' lunch pack.

Amount of frozen soup =

5000 - 2500 = 2500 ml
