The second sentence. They told you that 5 bottles EACH contains 1/2 liter of water. That means that 1 bottle = 1/2 liter of water. In order to find the total amount, you need to do 5 x 1/2, which is literally what the questions asks for. Only the second question contains what they ask for. Hope this helped! :D
