A pitcher can hold 4ℓ of water.
A tank can hold water from 5 pitchers of water.
A container can hold water from 3 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 = 4ℓ
Volume of water to fill a tank
= 5 x 4
= 20ℓ
(b)
Volume of water to fill a container
= Volume of 3 tanks
= 3 x 20
= 60ℓ
(c)
Number of pitchers of water that a container holds
= 60 ÷ 4
= 15
Answer(s): (a) 20ℓ ; (b) 60ℓ ; (c) 15
