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 = 3
Number of glasses that a pail can hold
= 3 + 3 + 1 + 1
= 8
Number of glasses that a pail can hold = 8
(b)
Number of glasses that a tank can hold
= 8 + 8 + 8 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 1
= 30
(c)
Number of glasses that a pitcher can hold = 3
Number of glasses of water that a tank can hold more than the pitcher
= 30 - 3
= 27
Answer(s): (a) 8; (b) 30; (c) 27
