Hamza purchased six 2-liter bottles of soft drinks to serve at a pizza party with friends. If the group drank 7,264 cubic centimeters of soda during the party, about how many liters of soft drinks remained afterward?
A. 2 liters B. 3 liters C. 5 liters D. 7 liters
Explanation: Given that one liter equals 1,000 cubic centimeters, Hamza purchased 6 × 2,000 or 12,000 cubic centimeters of soft drink. Since the group drank 7,264 cubic centimeters, there were 12,000 – 7,264 = 4,736 cubic centimeters of soda that remained, which rounds up to 5,000 cubic centimeters, or 5 liters of soda.
