Let's solve each problem step by step. The goal is to
calculate the capacity of each smaller container based on how many of them equal a given larger container.
We'll use basic division and unit conversions where needed:
- 1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliters (mL)
---
Problem 1:
- A
1 L pitcher = 4 cans
- So, total capacity = 1000 mL
- Number of cans = 4
$$
\text{Capacity of each can} = \frac{1000\ \text{mL}}{4} = 250\ \text{mL}
$$
✔ Answer: 250 mL
---
Problem 2:
- A
300 mL juice box = 3 baby bottles
- So,
$$
\text{Capacity of each bottle} = \frac{300\ \text{mL}}{3} = 100\ \text{mL}
$$
✔ Answer: 100 mL
---
Problem 3:
- A
1 L bucket = 4 blue jugs
- 1 L = 1000 mL
- So,
$$
\text{Capacity of each jug} = \frac{1000\ \text{mL}}{4} = 250\ \text{mL}
$$
But the answer is asked in
liters, so convert:
$$
250\ \text{mL} = 0.25\ \text{L}
$$
✔ Answer: 0.25 L
---
Problem 4:
- A
3 L watering can = 6 water bottles
- 3 L = 3000 mL
- So,
$$
\text{Capacity of each bottle} = \frac{3000\ \text{mL}}{6} = 500\ \text{mL}
$$
✔ Answer: 500 mL
---
Problem 5:
- A
750 mL cup = 3 orange bottles
- So,
$$
\text{Capacity of each bottle} = \frac{750\ \text{mL}}{3} = 250\ \text{mL}
$$
✔ Answer: 250 mL
---
✔ Final Answers:
1)
250 mL
2)
100 mL
3)
0.25 L
4)
500 mL
5)
250 mL
