You have a bottle with a volume of 2 litres. You pour 500 mL of water into it. How much more water can the bottle hold?

Correct Answer

The bottle can hold 1500 mL (or 1.5 litres) more water.

The total capacity of the bottle is 2 litres, which equals 2000 mL. Since 500 mL of water has already been poured into the bottle, the remaining capacity is 2000 mL - 500 mL = 1500 mL.

Explanation

The total capacity of the bottle is 2 litres, which equals 2000 mL. Since 500 mL of water has already been poured into the bottle, the remaining capacity is 2000 mL - 500 mL = 1500 mL.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Convert the bottle's total volume to millilitres: 2 litres = 2000 mL

  2. Step 2: Identify the volume already filled: 500 mL

  3. Step 3: Calculate remaining capacity: 2000 mL - 500 mL = 1500 mL

  4. Step 4: Convert back if needed: 1500 mL = 1.5 litres
