1 (from Unit 3, Lesson 4) 1. Is \( 4 \frac{1}{4} \) cups more or less than 1 liten? (Note: 1 cup \( =236.6 \) miltiliters) Select the correct choice from the drop down. \( 4 \frac{1}{4} \) cups is 2 2. Explain your reasoning. Type your response in the space below.

To convert cups to liters, we first need to calculate the total milliliters in \( 4 \frac{1}{4} \) cups. This equals \( 4.25 \) cups. Now, multiplying by \( 236.6 \) mL per cup gives us approximately \( 1007.55 \) mL. Since \( 1 \) liter is \( 1000 \) mL, we can see that \( 4 \frac{1}{4} \) cups is slightly more than \( 1 \) liter. Therefore, \( 4 \frac{1}{4} \) cups is **more** than 1 liter. The reasoning comes from converting cups into milliliters and comparing that to the volume of a liter. Since \( 1007.55 \) mL is greater than \( 1000 \) mL, it shows that you're getting a bit more than a liter when you measure \( 4 \frac{1}{4} \) cups.
