Addition you add and in subtraction you subtract
The correct answer is 2.8 liters
Explanation:
The volume of the water in the bottle can be calculated by subtracting 3.5 liters from the volume of water the pail can hold (6.3 liters) because the volume in the bottle is 3.5 liters less than the one in the pail. Below, you can find the process.
volume in the pail - 3.5 liters = volume in the bottle
6.3 liters - 3.5 liters = 2.8 liters
This means the volume of water in the bottle is 2.8 liters. Also, you can double-check this answer by adding the volume in the bottle and the 3.5 liters (2.8 + 3.5 = 6.3).
I only know this because I remember the common fractions, and 1/3 is .3333 repeating.
