Anna wanted to measure the capacity of a large bucket. What unit of measure should she use?
A. cups
B. pounds
C. inches
D. gallons
I'll be glad to check your answer.
A. cups
Gee -- that would take about about 30 cups. My pail holds about 2 gallons.
To determine the capacity of a large bucket, Anna should use the unit of measure "gallons."
Gallons are commonly used to measure the volume or capacity of liquid substances, such as water. It is the standard unit of measure for larger quantities of liquid, especially when dealing with containers like buckets, tanks, or barrels.
To measure the capacity, Anna will need a measuring tool like a gallon measuring cup or a gallon container. She can fill the bucket up with water and carefully pour the water into the measuring tool to determine the exact quantity in gallons. This will provide an accurate measurement and help her understand the volume or capacity of the bucket.
