This task is from Tools4NCTeachers.  Students compare fractions to determine if they have more or less than 3/4 of a Liter.  This task assesses comparing fractions rather than metric measurement.  The problem is set in the context of metric measurement; however, students do not need knowledge of metric benchmarks or conversions in order to solve this problem. This is remixable.
