A small jar holds 300 ml of water. A larger jar holds 1.2 liters of water. How many times more water does the larger jar hold compared to the small jar?

Step-by-step solution

1. Convert 1.2 liters to milliliters: $1.2,\text{l}=1200,\text{ml}$ because $1,\text{l}=1000,\text{ml}$.
2. Divide larger volume by smaller volume: $\frac{1200,\text{ml}}{300,\text{ml}}=4$.
