A tank can hold water from 7 pitchers of water.
A container can hold water from 2 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
= 7 x 2
= 14ℓ
(b)
Volume of water to fill a container
= Volume of 2 tanks
= 2 x 14
= 28ℓ
(c)
Number of pitchers of water that a container holds
= 28 ÷ 2
= 14
Answer(s): (a) 14ℓ ; (b) 28ℓ ; (c) 14
