Explanation:

Divide 2,470 by 1000 to convert into litres.

`(2,740)/1000 = 2.74`

Answer 2

I'm going to assume you mean 2,740 milliliters. In this case, he drank 2.74 liters.

Explanation:

The prefix milli- is used to denote `1/1000` of the given measurement. Knowing this, we can set up the following proportion, where `x` is the number of liters drank.

`"1L"/"1000mL" = x/"2740mL"`

Next we cross-multiply, multiplying `x * "1000mL"` and `1 * "2740mL"`. This gives us the new equation `1000x = 2740`.

Next, balance your equation to isolate `x` on one side. This leaves you with your final answer, `x = "2.74L"`.
