A woman added 376 ml of liquid gasoline additive to the 17.4L of gasoline in her car's tank. Find the total amount of liquid in the tank.
There are now _L of liquid in the tank.
17.4 L + 376 ml
= 17.4 L + .376 L
= 17.776 L
(compare the simplicity of the metric system to the complication of the Imperial system in the 2 previous posts)
To find the total amount of liquid in the tank, we need to add the amount of gasoline to the amount of liquid gasoline additive.
First, we should convert the amount of gasoline and gasoline additive to the same unit. Let's convert 17.4 liters to milliliters:
17.4 L = 17.4 * 1000 ml = 17,400 ml
Now, we can add the amount of gasoline (17,400 ml) to the amount of gasoline additive (376 ml):
17,400 ml + 376 ml = 17,776 ml
Therefore, there are now 17,776 ml of liquid in the tank.
