Let's solve each of the volume word problems step by step.

Problem 1:

A bottle of medicine holds 14 ml. What volume of liquid would there be in 39 bottles?

#### Solution:
To find the total volume of liquid in 39 bottles, we multiply the volume of one bottle by the number of bottles:
\[
\text{Volume of one bottle} = 14 \, \text{ml}
\]
\[
\text{Number of bottles} = 39
\]
\[
\text{Total volume} = 14 \, \text{ml} \times 39
\]

Perform the multiplication:
\[
14 \times 39 = 546 \, \text{ml}
\]

#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{546}
\]

Problem 2:

27 litres of apple and blackcurrant juice is enough to give 120 pupils a drink of juice. How much juice does each pupil get?

#### Solution:
To find out how much juice each pupil gets, we divide the total volume of juice by the number of pupils:
\[
\text{Total volume of juice} = 27 \, \text{litres}
\]
\[
\text{Number of pupils} = 120
\]
\[
\text{Juice per pupil} = \frac{27 \, \text{litres}}{120}
\]

First, convert litres to millilitres (since 1 litre = 1000 ml):
\[
27 \, \text{litres} = 27 \times 1000 = 27000 \, \text{ml}
\]

Now, divide the total volume in millilitres by the number of pupils:
\[
\text{Juice per pupil} = \frac{27000 \, \text{ml}}{120}
\]

Perform the division:
\[
\frac{27000}{120} = 225 \, \text{ml}
\]

#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{225}
\]

Problem 3:

A tub of cookies and cream ice cream holds 1.7 litres. Sadie eats 350 ml. How much ice cream is left in millilitres?

#### Solution:
First, convert the total volume of the ice cream from litres to millilitres:
\[
1.7 \, \text{litres} = 1.7 \times 1000 = 1700 \, \text{ml}
\]

Sadie eats 350 ml, so the remaining volume is:
\[
\text{Remaining volume} = \text{Total volume} - \text{Volume eaten}
\]
\[
\text{Remaining volume} = 1700 \, \text{ml} - 350 \, \text{ml}
\]

Perform the subtraction:
\[
1700 - 350 = 1350 \, \text{ml}
\]

#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{1350}
\]

Problem 4:

Sadie always eats exactly 350 ml when she eats ice cream. How many full servings could she get out of one 1.7 litre tub of ice cream?

#### Solution:
First, convert the total volume of the ice cream from litres to millilitres:
\[
1.7 \, \text{litres} = 1.7 \times 1000 = 1700 \, \text{ml}
\]

Each serving is 350 ml, so the number of full servings is:
\[
\text{Number of servings} = \frac{\text{Total volume}}{\text{Volume per serving}}
\]
\[
\text{Number of servings} = \frac{1700 \, \text{ml}}{350 \, \text{ml}}
\]

Perform the division:
\[
\frac{1700}{350} = 4.857 \ldots
\]

Since we are asked for the number of full servings, we take the integer part of the result:
\[
\text{Number of full servings} = 4
\]

#### Answer:
\[
\boxed{4}
\]
