a) how many kiloliters of sprite is this? how many centiliters?
b) if each cup can hold 355ml of liquid, how many cups of sprite did they go through?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total liters of Sprite

$47 \times 2 = 94$ L

Step2: Convert liters to kiloliters

$\frac{94}{1000} = 0.094$ kL

Step3: Convert liters to centiliters

$94 \times 100 = 9400$ cL

Step4: Convert total mL of Sprite

$94 \times 1000 = 94000$ mL

Step5: Calculate number of cups

$\frac{94000}{355} \approx 264.79$
(We round up to the nearest whole cup since you can't have a fraction of a used cup)

Answer:

a) 0.094 kiloliters, 9400 centiliters
b) 265 cups
