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.

Wait! Let’s check the diagram again.

Actually, from Q3: The jug is filled with 12 cups of 250ml → 12 × 250 = 3000ml

And the saucepan is 3.5 litres = 3500ml

So if Andy uses one full jug (3000ml) to fill the saucepan, he will use all 3000ml, but still need 500ml more.

But the question asks: How much water was left in the jug?

Since he used the full jug, it means he poured all 3000ml into the saucepan. So:

Left in the jug: 0ml

But none of the options say 0ml.

Wait — let's re-read: "Andy filled the saucepan using a full jug of water."

That implies he used only one full jug, so the jug is now empty.

But the answer choices are:
- 200ml
- 350ml
- 500ml
- 1000ml

Hmm — contradiction?

Wait — perhaps there’s a misunderstanding.

Wait — maybe the jug is larger than the saucepan?

No — from Q3: the jug is 3000ml, and the saucepan is 3.5L = 3500ml

So the jug is smaller than the saucepan.

Therefore, you cannot fill the saucepan with one full jug.

But the question says: “Andy filled the saucepan using a full jug of water.” That suggests the jug was enough.

This seems inconsistent.

Wait — perhaps I made a mistake.

Let’s double-check:

In Q3, the jug is shown being filled with 12 cups of 250ml, so 12 × 250 = 3000ml → that’s the jug’s capacity.

In Q4, the saucepan is labeled 3.5 litres = 3500ml

So the jug is 3000ml, saucepan is 3500ml

So a full jug cannot fill the saucepan completely.

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

That implies the jug was sufficient — which contradicts the numbers.

Wait — unless the jug is larger?

But no — the diagram shows the jug as being filled with 12 × 250ml = 3000ml.

Wait — maybe the jug is not the same as the one in Q3?

No — likely it is.

Alternatively, perhaps “filled” means he used part of the jug, not necessarily all?

But it says “using a full jug” — meaning he used one full jug, so he poured 3000ml into the saucepan.

Then the amount left in the jug is zero.

But zero isn’t an option.

Wait — maybe the jug is bigger?

Wait — look at the image: In Q5, the jug is labeled 4 litres!

Ah! Wait — in Q5, the jug is labeled 4 litres, not 3000ml.

But in Q3, the jug is shown with 12 cups of 250ml → 3000ml.

So are these two different jugs?

Possibly.

Let’s clarify:

- In Q3, we have a jug that takes 12 cups of 250ml → 3000ml = 3L
- But in Q5, the jug is labeled 4 litres

So likely, two different jugs.

But in Q5, it says: “Andy filled the saucepan using a full jug of water”

The saucepan is 3.5L, and the jug is 4L

So he pours 3.5L into the saucepan, and 0.5L = 500ml remains in the jug.

Answer: 500ml

✔️ Correct choice: 500ml

6. What is the volume of cube A?



Each small cube = 1cm³

Cube A is a 3×3×3 cube → 3 layers, each layer 3×3 = 9 cubes → 3 × 9 = 27 cubes

So volume = 27 × 1cm³ = 27cm³

Answer: 27cm³

✔️ Correct choice: 27cm³

---

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



Cube A = 27cm³ (from Q6)

Stack: Count the cubes.

Look at the stack — it's a 3×3 base, but only 2 layers high? Or?

Wait — the stack looks like:
- Bottom layer: 3×3 = 9 cubes
- Top layer: 3×3 = 9 cubes?
But the top is missing some?

Wait — in the image: the stack appears to be:
- 3 rows
- First row: 3 cubes
- Second row: 3 cubes
- Third row: 3 cubes → total 9 cubes?

Wait — no — actually, it's a 3×3×2 stack?

Wait — the diagram shows a stack of cubes: looks like 3 columns of 3 cubes each → 3×3 = 9 cubes

Wait — no — it's 3 layers of 3 cubes? No.

Wait — better to count:

It looks like a 3×3 square base, but only 2 levels high? Or 3?

Wait — looking closely: it’s a 3×3×2 block? No — it’s a 3×3×3? No — the top is missing.

Actually, it’s 3 columns, each column has 3 cubes → 3×3 = 9 cubes

Yes — the stack has 9 cubes

So volume = 9cm³

Cube A = 27cm³

Difference = 27 - 9 = 18cm³

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: 9 cubes (as above)

Target volume: 18cm³ → so need 18 cubes

So additional cubes needed = 18 - 9 = 9 cubes

But the options are:
- 10
- 12
- 11
- 13

None is 9.

Wait — did I miscount the stack?

Look at the stack in Q8: it's a 3D shape — appears to be:

- Front row: 3 cubes
- Middle row: 2 cubes
- Back row: 1 cube

So total = 3 + 2 + 1 = 6 cubes

Yes — that’s better.

So current stack = 6 cubes

Need to make a rectangular prism of 18cm³, so need 18 cubes

So need to add: 18 - 6 = 12 cubes

Answer: 12

✔️ Correct choice: 12

---

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



2L = 2000ml
2750 - 2000 = 750ml

Answer: 750ml

✔️ Fill in: 750

---

10. 3.225L is equal to ___ ml



1L = 1000ml → 3.225 × 1000 = 3225ml

Answer: 3225

✔️ Fill in: 3225
