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 3 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 = 4
Number of bottles that the pail can contain more than the pitcher
= 8 - 4
= 4
(c)
Volume that thepail can hold
= 3 x 8
= 24 ℓ
(d)
Volume that the pail and the pitcher can hold
= (8 + 4) x 3
= 12 x 3
= 36 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 2; (b) 4; (c) 24 ℓ; (d) 36 ℓ
