A pitcher can hold 2ℓ of water.
A tank can hold water from 9 pitchers of water.
A container can hold water from 10 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 = 2ℓ
Volume of water to fill a tank
= 9 x 2
= 18ℓ
(b)
Volume of water to fill a container
= Volume of 10 tanks
= 10 x 18
= 180ℓ
(c)
Number of pitchers of water that a container holds
= 180 ÷ 2
= 90
Answer(s): (a) 18ℓ ; (b) 180ℓ ; (c) 90
