A pitcher can hold 8ℓ of water.
A tank can hold water from 6 pitchers of water.
A container can hold water from 4 tanks.
- How many litres of water does a tank hold?
- How many litres of water does a container hold?
- How many pitchers of water does a container hold?
(a)
Volume of water that a pitcher holds = 8ℓ
Volume of water to fill a tank
= 6 x 8
= 48ℓ
(b)
Volume of water to fill a container
= Volume of 4 tanks
= 4 x 48
= 192ℓ
(c)
Number of pitchers of water that a container holds
= 192 ÷ 8
= 24
Answer(s): (a) 48ℓ ; (b) 192ℓ ; (c) 24
