A science lab has several beakers containing different amounts of the same liquid, as shown in the line plot. If all the liquid from the beakers is poured into one empty container that can hold exactly 4 liters, how much more liquid can the container hold? liter(s)

Respuesta :

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 7 beakers that each contain  liter.

There are 3 beakers that each contain  liter.

Multiply each amount of liquid by the number of beakers containing that amount.

Now, add the amounts to find the total amount of liquid in all the beakers.

Last, subtract the total amount of liquid from the amount that the container can hold, 4 liters.

So, after pouring all of the liquid into an empty container that can hold exactly 4 liters, the container can hold 1/2 liter more liquid.
