Complete Question

A scientist poured 1.6 x 10³ milliliters of water into a container that already had 2.8 x 10⁴ milliliters of salt water and 9.4 x 10³ milliliters of sugar water. How many milliliters of liquid were in the container?

A.1.7 x 10⁴ milliliters

B.3.58 x 10⁴ milliliters

C.3.74 x 10⁴ milliliters

D.3.9 x 10⁴ milliliters

C. 3.74 x 10⁴ milliliters

Step-by-step explanation:

The milliliters of liquid that WERE in the container = The milliliters of liquid that were in the container before adding 1.6 x 10³ milliliters of water

This equals to:

2.8 x 10⁴ milliliters of salt water and 9.4 x 10³ milliliters of sugar water.

Hence:

2.8 x 10⁴ milliliters of salt water + 9.4 x 10³ milliliters of sugar water

= (2.8 × 10⁴) + (9.4 × 10³)

= 37400

= 3.74 x 10⁴ milliliters

Therefore, option C is correct

answer: all of the odd numbers were opened

the first person was the one that was opening all of the lockers. since one is odd, this causes all of the odd number lockers to be opened in the end.
