To calculate the maximum number of liters of water a cylindrical container can hold, Carla should follow these steps:

1. Measure the radius and height of the container in centimeters.

2. Find the volume of the cylinder. The formula for the volume [tex]\( V \)[/tex] of a cylinder is given by:
[tex]\[ V = \pi r^2 h \][/tex]
where [tex]\( r \)[/tex] is the radius and [tex]\( h \)[/tex] is the height of the cylinder.

3. Convert the volume from cubic centimeters to liters. Since 1 liter is equivalent to 1,000 cubic centimeters, Carla should divide the volume in cubic centimeters by 1,000 to get the volume in liters.

Therefore, the correct method Carla should use is:

Measure the radius and height of the container in centimeters, find the volume, and then divide by 1,000.
