A tank can hold water from 2 pitchers of water.
A container can hold water from 8 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 = 6ℓ
Volume of water to fill a tank
= 2 x 6
= 12ℓ
(b)
Volume of water to fill a container
= Volume of 8 tanks
= 8 x 12
= 96ℓ
(c)
Number of pitchers of water that a container holds
= 96 ÷ 6
= 16
Answer(s): (a) 12ℓ ; (b) 96ℓ ; (c) 16
