How much liquid is in each jug? Answer in both litres and millilitres. The first one has been done for you.

Fill the jugs below to the amount shown:

Below is a recipe for the delicious summer drink, Lava Flow. The capacity measurements are expressed in cups or teaspoons. Express them in millilitres:

Lava FlowIngredients (for one drink)

•12 cupofpineapplejuice _______ mL

•12 cup of cream _______ mL

•12 a banana

•3teaspoonsofcoconutcream _______ mL

Boxes of tissues are packed in cubic metre containers to be shipped to supermarkets. Use a calculator to work out how many of these boxes will fit into each container. You will first need to work out how many cubic centimetres are in a cubic metre.

Work with a friend on this activity. You may either physically build the towers or choose to talk through the problem together. You are building towers using centicubes. One of you makes your first level with 4 rows of 3 blocks. The other person starts with 5 rows of 4 blocks. The first one has been done for you.

Getting ready

Hmmm … I think algebra could be used here.

There are a number of ways to solve this problem. One way is:

1 bar = 150 g + 13 bar

This can be re framed as: 33 bar = 150 g + 13 bar

We remove 13 bar from both sides: 23 bar = 150 g

If we multiply both sides by 3 we have:

2 bars = 450 g

Then we divide by 2 to find the weight of one bar:

1 bar = 225 g
