1 answer

To find out how many liters of coffee Sameer drinks in the morning, we can start by converting cups to liters using the table provided.

According to the table:

  • 1 cup = 0.237 liters

Since Sameer drinks 3 cups of coffee, we can calculate the total volume in liters as follows:

\[ \text{Total liters} = 3 \text{ cups} \times 0.237 \text{ liters per cup} \]

Calculating that:

\[ \text{Total liters} = 3 \times 0.237 = 0.711 \text{ liters} \]

Now, we will round this answer to the nearest tenth:

Rounded to the nearest tenth, 0.711 liters becomes 0.7 liters.

Therefore, Sameer drinks 0.7 liters of coffee in the morning.
