24 Oz in total, converted to mL we get 709 mL or 0.709765 L.

* in the given question all items are mentioned in ounces, so I added them and gives an final value 24 oz.

* 1 oz = 29.54 ml

So, 24 oz = 709.765 ml

* 1 L = 1000 ml and 1 oz. = 0.0295735 L

So, 24 oz = 0.709765 L

In case you're asked, to the correct number of significant figures, it should be:

710 mL and 0.71 L, respectively
