Problem Overview:
The task is to determine whether each item in the image holds
more than 1 liter or
less than 1 liter of liquid. The hint provided is that
1 liter = 1000 milliliters (ml).
Solution Approach:
To solve this, we need to use our understanding of common capacities of everyday objects and compare them to 1 liter (1000 ml). Here’s a breakdown of each item:
---
#### 1.
A coffee cup
- A standard coffee cup typically holds around
250 ml to 300 ml.
- This is
less than 1 liter.
#### 2.
A spoon
- A spoon is used for small amounts of liquid, typically holding
a few milliliters (e.g., 5–10 ml).
- This is
less than 1 liter.
#### 3.
A bathtub
- A bathtub can hold a large volume of water, often several hundred liters.
- This is
more than 1 liter.
#### 4.
A tube of sunscreen
- A typical tube of sunscreen contains
around 50 ml to 100 ml.
- This is
less than 1 liter.
#### 5.
A mug
- A standard mug typically holds
300 ml to 400 ml.
- This is
less than 1 liter.
#### 6.
A yogurt cup
- A typical yogurt cup contains
around 150 ml to 200 ml.
- This is
less than 1 liter.
#### 7.
Juice box
- A juice box usually contains
200 ml to 250 ml.
- This is
less than 1 liter.
#### 8.
Dump truck
- A dump truck is designed to carry large volumes of material, often measured in tons or cubic meters.
- While it doesn’t directly measure liquid capacity, its size indicates it can hold much more than 1 liter.
- This is
more than 1 liter.
#### 9.
Milk carton
- A milk carton typically holds
1 liter (1000 ml) or slightly less.
- This is
less than or equal to 1 liter, but since the question asks for "more than" or "less than," we consider it
less than 1 liter if not exactly 1 liter.
