Study the picture.
- What container contains the most 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 2 ℓ, how many litres does the pail has?
- How many ℓ does the pail and pitcher have?
(a)
The container which contains the most amount of water is the pail (1).
(b)
Number of bottles that the pail can contain = 9
Number of bottles that the pitcher can contain = 3
Number of bottles that the pail can contain more than the pitcher
= 9 - 3
= 6
(c)
Volume that the pail can hold
= 2 x 9
= 18 ℓ
(d)
Volume that the pail and the pitcher can hold
= (3 + 9) x 2
= 12 x 2
= 24 ℓ
Answer(s): (a) 1; (b) 6; (c) 18 ℓ; (d) 24 ℓ
