## Read the story

Each bowl gets 250 milliliters of soup.

4 bowls are 1000 milliliters. And 1000 milliliters is 1 liter.

So for 12 bowls we need 3 liters of soup.

**How many liters of soup do we need for 8 bowls of 250 ml?**

## Answer and working

Correct! 8 times 250 milliliters is 2000 milliliters, that's 2 liters.

`2000 ÷ 1000 = 2`
