Question

Silyvia filled a watering can with `3.58` liters of water. She used `40` milliliters to water a plant and `150` milliliters on a rose plant. How much water is left?

Answer 1

`3580-190=3390`
3390 mL, or 3.39 L

Explanation:

A liter is 1000 mL; the can (3.58 liters) is equal to 3580mL. 40 mL was used to water a plant and 150 mL to plant a rose which is equal to 190mL of water used so subtract 190mL (sum of 150 and 40 mL) from 3580 mL, the total amount of water

Answer 2

`"Water left in the can "color(white)(aaa aaa a)color(green)( 3,390 " ml or " color(brown)( 3.39 " liters"`

Explanation:

`color(purple)("A liter is 1000 ml the can (3.58 liters) is equal to 3580 ml"`

`"Water used for a plant " color(white)(aaa aaa ) 40" ml"`
`"Water used for rose " color(white)(aaa aaa aa) 150" ml"`
`color(white)(aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa) ---`
`"Water used for both plants "color(white)(aa ) color(blue)(190 " ml"`
`color(white)(aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa) ---`

`"Water filled in the can " color(white)(aaa aaa ) 3,580 " ml"`
`"Water used for plants "color(white)(aaa aaa) - 190 " ml"`
`color(white)(aaa aaaaaa aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa ) ----`
`"Water left in the can "color(white)(aaa aaa a)color(green)( 3,390 " ml"`.
`color(white)(aaa aaaaaa aaa aaa aaa aaa aaa ) ----`
