Solved Example:

Subtract 3 ℓ 175 mℓ from 6 ℓ 250 mℓ.

Solution:

          ℓ         mℓ

          6      2 5 0

       -  3      1 7 5 

          3      0 7 5 


Subtract millilitres first and then the litres.

Therefore, 6 ℓ 250 mℓ - 3 ℓ 175 mℓ = 3 ℓ 75 ℓ.

(ix) 13 l 650 ml - 7 l 853 ml

(x) 10 l 000 ml - 4 l 372 ml

(xi) 21 l 310 ml - 17 l 625 ml

(xii) 18 l 527 ml - 8 l 939 ml
