Worked Solution

Step 1: Convert litres to millilitres. 1 L = 1000 ml, so 3 L = 3 × 1000 = 3000 ml. Step 2: Identify the operation. 'Poured equally into 6 cups' means divide the total by 6. Step 3: Compute: 3000 ÷ 6 = 500 ml per cup. Check (reverse): 500 × 6 = 3000 ml = 3 L ✓. Final answer: 500 ml per cup. Answer: 500 ml

Correct answer: 500 ml
