First add up the total volume of intake in mL or 120 + 240 + 240 + 80 + 500 = 1180 mL.Once you have done this,use dimensional analysis to solve the problem.L/shift = 1 L/1000mL x 1180 mL/1 shift.Multiply the numerators (1 x 1180 = 1180).Multiply the denominators (1000 x 1 = 1000).1180/1000 = 1.18 L.
