A pitcher can hold 2ℓ of water.
A tank can hold water from 8 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
= 8 x 2
= 16ℓ
(b)
Volume of water to fill a container
= Volume of 10 tanks
= 10 x 16
= 160ℓ
(c)
Number of pitchers of water that a container holds
= 160 ÷ 2
= 80
Answer(s): (a) 16ℓ ; (b) 160ℓ ; (c) 80
