A pitcher can hold 14ℓ of water.
A tank can hold water from 4 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 = 14ℓ
Volume of water to fill a tank
= 4 x 14
= 56ℓ
(b)
Volume of water to fill a container
= Volume of 3 tanks
= 3 x 56
= 168ℓ
(c)
Number of pitchers of water that a container holds
= 168 ÷ 14
= 12
Answer(s): (a) 56ℓ ; (b) 168ℓ ; (c) 12
