Examples with solutions for Volume Units: Simple addition

Exercise #1

Convert to liters:

8.24l+160ml= 8.24_l+160_{ml}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will convert the 160 milliliters to liters and then add this converted amount to 8.24 liters.

  • First, we convert 160 milliliters to liters. Knowing that 1 liter=1000 milliliters1 \text{ liter} = 1000 \text{ milliliters}, we perform the calculation:
  • 160 ml1000=0.16 liters\frac{160 \text{ ml}}{1000} = 0.16 \text{ liters}
  • Next, we add the converted volume to the initial 8.24 liters:
  • Total volume in liters=8.24 liters+0.16 liters\text{Total volume in liters} = 8.24 \text{ liters} + 0.16 \text{ liters}
  • This gives us:
  • Total volume=8.40 liters\text{Total volume} = 8.40 \text{ liters}

Thus, the final volume is 8.4liters8.4 \, \text{liters}.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 8.4l8.4 \, \text{l}, which matches choice 2.

Exercise #2

Convert to liters:

7250dm3+2500ml= 7250_{dm^3}+2500_{ml}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To tackle this problem, we'll follow these solutions steps:

  • Step 1: Convert 7250dm3 7250 \, \text{dm}^3 to liters. Since 1dm3 1 \, \text{dm}^3 is equivalent to 1liter 1 \, \text{liter} , we have:

7250dm3=7250liters 7250 \, \text{dm}^3 = 7250 \, \text{liters} .

  • Step 2: Convert 2500ml 2500 \, \text{ml} to liters. Knowing that 1ml=0.001liter 1 \, \text{ml} = 0.001 \, \text{liter} , we calculate:

2500ml=2500×0.001liters=2.5liters 2500 \, \text{ml} = 2500 \times 0.001 \, \text{liters} = 2.5 \, \text{liters} .

  • Step 3: Add both quantities, remembering they are now both in liters:

7250liters+2.5liters=7252.5liters 7250 \, \text{liters} + 2.5 \, \text{liters} = 7252.5 \, \text{liters} .

Hence, the total volume is 7252.5liters \boxed{7252.5 \, \text{liters}} .

In checking choices, the correct answer is 7252.5liters 7252.5 \, \text{liters} , which corresponds to choice 2.
