CLEAR CHECK
1,000 milliliters
500 milliliters
400 milliliters
3 milliliters
The amount of lemonade left in the pitcher is 500 milliliters.
To calculate how much lemonade is left in the pitcher, we first start with 750 milliliters. Teresa poured 250 milliliters into a glass and drank it, so we subtract that amount from the original amount:
750 mL - 250 mL = 500 mL
Therefore, there are 500 milliliters of lemonade left in the pitcher. So, the correct answer is 500 milliliters.
To find out how much lemonade is left in the pitcher, we need to subtract the amount poured into the glass from the original amount in the pitcher.
Given:
Original amount in pitcher = 750 mL
Amount poured into glass = 250 mL
To find out how much lemonade is left in the pitcher, we subtract the amount poured into the glass from the original amount:
750 mL - 250 mL = 500 mL
Therefore, there is 500 milliliters of lemonade left in the pitcher.
The correct answer is 500 milliliters.
