Study the pictures and answer the following.
- How many glasses of water can a pail hold?
- How many glasses of water can a tank hold?
- How many more glasses of water can the tank hold than the pitcher?
(a)
Number of glasses that a pitcher can hold = 5
Number of glasses that a pail can hold
= 5 + 5 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
= 20
Number of glasses that a pail can hold = 20
(b)
Number of glasses that a tank can hold
= 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
= 100
(c)
Number of glasses that a pitcher can hold = 5
Number of glasses of water that a tank can hold more than the pitcher
= 100 - 5
= 95
Answer(s): (a) 20; (b) 100; (c) 3
