2. A container had 2.32 l of petrol in it. 2.16 l of petrol was more added to it. What quantity of petrol does the container have now?

Solution:

The container had petrol             =         2.32 l

Petrol added to it                      =      +  2.16 l

Total quantity of petrol               =         4.48 l

Therefore, now the container has 4.48 l of petrol.
