It is important to maintain water balance in the body. When water is balanced, the volume of water taken in by the body is equal to the volume of water lost from the body.

Figure 1 shows how much water a person gained and lost by different methods in one day.

Two bar charts showing the water balance of a person over one day. The first chart, titled 'Water gained by the body', has three bars: Food at 600 cm³, Drink at 1600 cm³, and Metabolism at 300 cm³. The second chart, titled 'Water lost from the body', has four columns: Urine at 1450 cm³, Faeces (not shown), Skin at 500 cm³, and Breathing at 450 cm³. The y-axis of both charts is labeled 'Volume in cm³' and ranges from 0 to 1800 with major increments of 100.

Calculate the volume of water the person lost in one day in faeces.
