Respuesta :

Answer:

Terry should buy the half liters.

1. Milliliters and Liters

2. For the milliliters you must multiply them by 12 because each milliliter container needs to be multiplied by 12 to have 3 liters, and for half liters, you must multiply the cost by 6 because there are 6 half liters in 3 liters.

3. You can convert the half liters to cost the same as the liters by multiplying them by 2 since 2 halves is 1 entire liter.

4. 1000 milliliters in 1 liter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Terry should buy the half liters because 6 half liters (equivalent to 3 liters) is $14.34, compared to 12 250 milliliter containers (equivalent to 3 liters) is $20.28.

uh i think like 27 because it’s my favorite number but if you got a different favorite number you should do that one i guess
