Question

Look what Adithyan is saying.
How much water does his small bottle hold? __________
I poured two small bottles of water to fill this 1-litre bottle.



Then how much water does Leela's bottle hold? _________
To fill the 1-litre bottle I need to pour water 5 times from my small bottle.

Answer 1

• Ramu has a small bottle. He pours 2 small bottles of water to fill a 1 litre bottle.

We know
1000 mL = 1 L

Capacity of the big bottle = 1000 mL
Now, Ramu uses the small bottle 2 times to fill the big bottle.
Capacity of the small bottle = 1000 ÷ 2 mL
= 500 mL
Thus, Ramu's bottle can hold 500 mL of water.

• Leela has a small bottle. She pours 5 small bottles of water to fill a 1 litre bottle.

We know
1000 mL = 1 L
Capacity of big bottle = 1000 mL
Now, Leela uses the small bottle 5 times to fill the big bottle.
Capacity of the small bottle = 1000 ÷ 5 mL
= 200 mL
Thus, Leela's bottle can hold 200 mL of water.
