I recently opened a can of soda and noticed that it was not completely full. You may have noticed the same thing. I got to wondering if the soda company was really giving me my money’s worth. The label on the can says 355 ml, but does that refer to the capacity of the can, or the volume of soda in the can?
See if you can work together and come up with a plan to find out what the 355 ml refers to.
