Question. Every day an adult should consume 64 fluid ounces. Josey had already consumed 700 milliliters of water. How may more liters should he drink today?
Given: Every day an adult should consume 64 fluid ounces.
Josey has already consumed 700 milliliters of water
To Find: How many more liters should he drink today?
We know that 1 fluid ounce is near to about29.6ml
Now converting 64 fluid ounces to milliliters,
64×29.6=1894.4ml
Josey consumes 700ml,
The difference is about 1894.4−700=1194.4ml
To Converting into liters divide ml by1000,
1194.4/1000
=1.1944l
An adult drinks 64 fluid ounces of water every day. Josey has already consumed 700 milliliters of water. 1.1944 liters he should drink today.
