Let's solve each question in the Volume & Capacity worksheet step by step and explain the reasoning.

---

1. Which container’s capacity is less than one litre?



We are given 4 containers:
- A small glass (likely < 1L)
- A pitcher (probably > 1L)
- A bucket (definitely > 1L)
- A saucepan (likely around 3.5 L)

Answer: The small glass is less than one litre.

✔️ Correct choice: The first option — the small glass.

2. There are ___ millilitres in one Litre.



This is a standard conversion.

Answer: 1000 millilitres = 1 litre

✔️ Fill in the blank: 1000

3. It takes exactly 12 cups of water to fill this jug. What is the capacity of the jug?



Each cup = 250ml
So, total capacity = 12 × 250ml = 3000ml

Answer: 3000ml

✔️ Correct choice: 3000ml

---

4. How many cans are needed to fill the saucepan?



Given:
- Saucepan capacity: 3.5 litres
- Each can: 100ml

Convert 3.5 litres to millilitres:
3.5 L = 3500 ml

Now divide:
3500 ÷ 100 = 35 cans

Answer: 35 cans

✔️ Correct choice: 35

5. Andy filled the saucepan using a full jug of water. How much water was left in the jug?



From Q3: Jug holds 3000ml
Saucepan holds 3.5L = 3500ml

But wait — the jug only has 3000ml, and the saucepan needs 3500ml. So you cannot fill the saucepan with just one full jug unless the jug is larger.

Wait — let's check the diagram again:

- Jug: 3000ml (from Q3)
- Saucepan: 3.5L = 3500ml

So if Andy uses one full jug (3000ml) to fill the saucepan, he would be short by 500ml.

But the question says: "Andy filled the saucepan using a full jug of water."

That implies he did fill it — so maybe we're missing something.

Wait — perhaps the jug is larger?

Look at Q3 again: The jug is shown with 12 cups of 250ml → 12 × 250 = 3000ml

And the saucepan is labeled 3.5 litres = 3500ml

So a single full jug (3000ml) is not enough to fill the saucepan (3500ml). But the question says he filled the saucepan using a full jug — that seems contradictory.

Wait — maybe the jug is actually the 4-litre jug?

Looking at the image: There are two jugs:
- One is labeled “4 litres” — that must be the larger jug
- The other is the one used in Q3: 12 × 250ml = 3000ml = 3L

So likely, the jug used to fill the saucepan is the 4-litre jug.

But then:
Jug = 4L = 4000ml
Saucepan = 3.5L = 3500ml

So after filling the saucepan, water left in the jug = 4000 - 3500 = 500ml

Answer: 500ml

✔️ Correct choice: 500ml

6. What is the volume of cube A?



Cube A is made of small cubes, each 1cm³.

Count the cubes:
- Cube A is a 3×3×3 cube → 3 layers × 3 rows × 3 columns = 27 cubes

Each cube = 1cm³ → Total volume = 27 cm³

Answer: 27cm³

✔️ Correct choice: 27cm³

---

7. What is the difference between the volume of cube A and the stack?



We already know:
- Cube A = 27 cm³

Now count the stack:
- Stack has 3 layers
- Bottom layer: 3 cubes
- Middle layer: 3 cubes
- Top layer: 3 cubes
→ Total = 9 cubes → Volume = 9 cm³

Difference = 27 - 9 = 18 cm³

Answer: 18cm³

✔️ Correct choice: 18cm³

---

8. How many cubes are needed to turn this stack into a rectangular prism with a volume of 18cm³?



Current stack volume = 9 cm³ (as above)

Target volume = 18 cm³

So additional cubes needed = 18 - 9 = 9 cubes

But look at the options: 10, 12, 11, 13 — none is 9!

Wait — maybe I miscounted the stack?

Let’s recheck the stack:

The stack is shown as:
- Bottom row: 3 cubes
- Middle: 2 cubes
- Top: 1 cube

Wait — no, looking closely at the diagram:

It shows:
- First row (bottom): 3 cubes
- Second row: 2 cubes (on top of left and middle)
- Third row: 1 cube (on top of left)

So total = 3 + 2 + 1 = 6 cubes

Ah! That’s different.

So stack volume = 6 cm³

Target = 18 cm³

Cubes needed = 18 - 6 = 12 cubes

Answer: 12

✔️ Correct choice: 12

9. 2750ml is equal to 2L + ____ ml



We know:
- 2L = 2000ml
- So 2750ml = 2000ml + 750ml

Answer: 750ml

✔️ Fill in the blank: 750

---

10. 3.225L is equal to ____ ml



Convert litres to millilitres: multiply by 1000

3.225 × 1000 = 3225 ml

Answer: 3225

✔️ Fill in the blank: 3225
