    1.3 L more.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Givens

    8 fluid ounces = 1 cup.

    240 mL = 1 cup

    Solution

    4 cups = 1 L

    64 fluid ounces = x cups

    8/64 = 1 / x Cross multiply

    8x = 64 Divide by 8

    8x/8 = 64/8

    x = 8 cups

    So we should be drinking 8 cups a day

    1 L = 4 cups

    x = 8 cups Cross multiply

    4x = 8 cups Divide by 4

    x = 8/4

    x = 2 Liters.

    1 L = 1000 mL

    x L = 700 mL

    700 * 1 = 1000 * x

    Divide by 1000

    x = 700 / 1000

    x = 0.7 L

    He needs to drink 2 L - 0.7L

    1.3 more liters.
