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 = 4
Number of glasses that a pail can hold
= 4 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
= 12
Number of glasses that a pail can hold = 12
(b)
Number of glasses that a tank can hold
= 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 4 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
= 60
(c)
Number of glasses that a pitcher can hold = 4
Number of glasses of water that a tank can hold more than the pitcher
= 60 - 4
= 56
Answer(s): (a) 12; (b) 60; (c) 3
