I'm going to assume you mean 2,740 milliliters. In this case, he drank 2.74 liters.

Explanation:

The prefix milli- is used to denote #1/1000# of the given measurement. Knowing this, we can set up the following proportion, where #x# is the number of liters drank.

#"1L"/"1000mL" = x/"2740mL"#

Next we cross-multiply, multiplying #x * "1000mL"# and #1 * "2740mL"#. This gives us the new equation #1000x = 2740#.

Next, balance your equation to isolate #x# on one side. This leaves you with your final answer, #x = "2.74L"#.
