Answer 1

Answer:

Option B. 3 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we shall determine the total volume of soup that Mei have. This is illustrated below:

Mei have 8 jars of soup containing 300mL each. Therefore, she has a total of = 8 x 300mL = 2400mL.

Next, we shall convert 2400mL to litres (L). This can be obtain as follow:

1000mL = 1L

Therefore, 2400mL = 2400/1000 = 2.4L

Mei have 2.4L of soup.

Since the total volume of the soup that Mei have is 2.4L, she will be needing a minimum of 3L pot to heat up all the soup.
