bruno is measuring water for an experiment. he fills a 2 litre container and a half liter container. how much water does bruno use altogether? give your answer in millilitres.
2 L + .5 L = 2.5 L
2.5 L = 2500 ml
- the beauty of the metric system !
To determine the total amount of water Bruno used, we will convert the volume of each container to milliliters and then add them together.
First, we convert the 2-liter container to milliliters:
1 liter = 1000 milliliters
Hence, 2 liters = 2 * 1000 = 2000 milliliters
Next, we convert the half-liter container to milliliters:
1 liter = 1000 milliliters
Hence, half a liter = 0.5 * 1000 = 500 milliliters
Now, we add the volumes of both containers together:
2000 milliliters + 500 milliliters = 2500 milliliters
Therefore, Bruno used a total of 2500 milliliters of water for his experiment.
To determine how much water Bruno uses altogether, we first need to convert the given measurements to millilitres and then add them together.
1 liter is equal to 1000 millilitres.
Thus, the 2-litre container can hold 2 x 1000 = 2000 millilitres of water.
The half-liter container can hold 0.5 x 1000 = 500 millilitres of water.
To find the total amount of water used, we add the two measurements: 2000 + 500 = 2500 millilitres.
Therefore, Bruno uses 2500 millilitres of water altogether for the experiment.
