Study the picture.
- What container contains the least amount of water? Give your answer in number. (Eg 1)
- How many more bottles does the pail contain than the pitcher?
- If each bottle contains 4 ℓ, how many litres does the pail has?
- How many ℓ does the pail and pitcher have?
(a)
The container which contains the least amount of water is the glass (2).
(b)
Number of bottles that the pail can contain = 8
Number of bottles that the pitcher can contain = 6
Number of bottles that the pail can contain more than the pitcher
= 8 - 6
= 2
(c)
Volume that the pail can hold
= 4 x 8
= 32 ℓ
(d)
Volume that the pail and the pitcher can hold
= (6 + 8) x 4
= 14 x 4
= 56 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) 2; (c) 32 ℓ; (d) 56 ℓ
