A patient receives 240 mL of milk, 180 mL of apple juice, and 120 mL of water. What is the total intake in liters?

• A. 0.34 L
• B. 0.54 L
• C. 0.64 L
• D. 0.84 L

Answer: (B)

Total intake is found by adding the three fluid amounts and then converting to liters. Add 240 mL, 180 mL, and 120 mL to get 540 mL. Convert to liters by dividing by 1000: 540 mL × (1 L / 1000 mL) = 0.54 L. So the total intake is 0.54 L. (For reference, 0.34 L would be 340 mL, 0.64 L would be 640 mL, and 0.84 L would be 840 mL.)
