First you need to know what [tex]34 1/4[/tex] is in a decimal. It will equal [tex]34.25[/tex].
Then you need to know how many liters equal a millimeter. [tex]0.001[/tex] liters equal a millimeter, or in other words [tex]1,000[/tex] millimeters equals a liter.
Next you multiply, which you should know if that is [tex]1,000[/tex] then you just fill the multiplication problem with [tex]0[/tex]. As in this equation if you multiply [tex]34[/tex] to [tex]1,000[/tex], you'll get [tex]34,000[/tex]. So if you do [tex]34.24[/tex]... it will change into [tex]34,250[/tex]. If it was in a cubic way it would be [tex]34,250,000[/tex]. So the answer is [tex]34,250[/tex], or [tex]34,250,000[/tex]. But we're not finished until were done subtracting to get out answer.
[tex]40[/tex] liters equals [tex]40,000[/tex] millimeters, [tex]40,000[/tex] - [tex]34,250[/tex]... which is [tex]5,750[/tex].
