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".
