You need to work in consistent units. Note that the weight of the bottle is given in grams
\n" ); document.write( "and the combined weight of the bottle and water is given in kilograms. Convert the weight
\n" ); document.write( "of the combined water & bottle from kilograms to grams. Do this by multiplying 1000 times
\n" ); document.write( "the weight in kilograms to find that the combination weighs:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "1.22 kg * 1000 = 1220 grams
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Next you can subtract the weight of the bottle (115 grams) from the weight of the bottle-water
\n" ); document.write( "combination to find the weight of only the water as follows:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Weight of Water = 1220 gms - 115 gms = 1105 gms
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "And since each gram is 1 ml of water, there must be 1105 ml of water.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps you to see your way through this problem.
