Ed bought 3 liters of water, 2,750 milliliters of sports drink, and 2.25 liters of juice.

For numbers 4a-4e, select True or False for each statement.

4a. Ed bought 250 milliliters more water than sports drink. True or False.

4b. Ed bought 1.25 liters more water than juice. True or False.

4c. Ed bought 50 milliliters more sports drink than juice. True or False.

4d. Ed bought 0.5 liter more sports drink than juice. True or False.

4e. Ed bought 75 milliliters more water than juice. True or False.

Answer :

4a) 1000 milliliters = 1 liter, thus 3 liters = 3 x 1000 = 3000 milliliters.
Thus Ed bought 3000 - 2750 = 250 more water than sports drink.
Therefore,
Ed bought 250 milliliters more water than sports drink is True.

4b) Ed bought 3 - 2.25 = 0.75 more water than juice.
Therefore, Ed bought 1.25 liters more water than juice is False.

4c) Ed bought 2.25 liters = 2.25 x 1000 = 2250 milliliters of juice.
Thus, Ed bought 2750 - 2250 = 500 more sports drink than juice.
Therefore, Ed
bought 50 milliliters more sports drink than juice is False.

4d) Ed bought 2750 milliliters = 2750 / 1000 = 2.75 liters of sports drink.
Ed bought 2.75 - 2.25 = 0.5 liters more sports drink than juice.
Ed
bought 0.5 liter more of sports drink than juice is True.

4e) Ed bought 3000 milliliters of water and 2250 milliliters of juice.
Ed bought 3000 - 2250 = 750 more milliliters of water than juice.
Therefore, Ed
bought 75 milliliters more water than juice is False.

The statement that are true are: 4a and 4d and the statements that are false are: 4b, 4c and 4e.

Ed bought 3 L of water, 2750 mL of sports drinks and 2.25 L of juice.

4a) Ed bought 250 ml more water than sports drink

To determine whether this statement is correct, we must convert all quantities to the same unit of measurement. Let us convert the L to ml using the conversion factor:

[tex]1\ L = 1000\ mL[/tex]

Amount of water in ml = [tex]3 \times 1000 = 3000 mL[/tex]

Sports drinks = 2750 mL

On subtract the quantity of water and sports drink we get:[tex]3000\ ml\ water - 2750\ ml\ sports\ drink\ = 250 ml[/tex]

So, this statement is true.

4b) Ed bought 1.25 liters more water than juice.

We need to first convert volume of juice to ml:

Amount of juice in ml = [tex]2.25 \times 1000 = 2250 ml[/tex]

Next, we find the difference between the amounts of water and juice in ml:

[tex]3000 ml\ - 2250 ml\ = 750 ml[/tex]

Ed only bought 750 ml more of water than juice. Thus, this statement is false.

4c) Ed bought 50 ml more sports drink than juice.

We subtract the amount of juice from sports drink as follows:

[tex]2750 ml\ - 2250 ml\ = 500 ml[/tex]

Thus, we can see that Ed got 500 ml more of sports drink than juice rather than 50 ml. So, we can say that this statement is False.

4d) Ed bought 0.5 L more of sports drink than juice.

We convert 0.5 l to ml which gives us:

[tex]0.5 \times 1000 = 500 ml[/tex]

We subtract the amount of juice from sports drink as follows:

[tex]2750 ml\ - 2250 ml\ = 500 ml[/tex]

Thus, we can see that Ed got 500 ml more of sports drink than juice so this statement is true.

4e) Ed bought 75 ml more water than juice.

We subtract the amount of juice from water as follows:

[tex]3000 ml\ - 2250 ml\ = 750 ml[/tex]

Thus the volume of water more than juice is 750 ml and not 75 ml. So, we can say this statement is false.

Thus, we see that the statement that are true are: 4a and 4d and the statements that are false are: 4b, 4c and 4e.
