1. A canteen of water
1mL 1L 10L
Two-liter bottles of a soft drinks are the largest size sold. Could you conveniently carry a 10-liter canteen? Since a liter contains 1,000 milliliters, this is about one sip of water. What do you think is the best answer?
If you post YOUR answers to the other five questions, we'll be glad to check them for you.
You need to have some idea of the volume in the metric system. Personally, I think these questions could be improved: for example, how larger is the bucket? How large is the can of beans? etc
You must have some idea from your class or from the question itself. Here are some volumes in U. S. system.
1 U. S. teaspoon = approximately 5 mL
1 U. S. quart = about 1 L.
To determine the most reasonable measurement, we need to compare the given options for each item based on typical quantities and common sense.
1. A canteen of water:
- 1mL: This is a very small amount and would not be reasonable for a canteen.
- 1L: This is a commonly used measurement for a canteen.
- 10L: This is a large quantity and may not be practical for a canteen.
The most reasonable measurement for a canteen of water would be 1L.
2. A bucket of sap:
- 8L: This is a relatively small quantity for a bucket.
- 380mL: This is too small for a bucket and more suitable for a smaller container.
- 38L: This is a reasonable measurement for a bucket.
The most reasonable measurement for a bucket of sap would be 38L.
3. A can of beans:
- 45L: This is a very large quantity and not typically used for a can of beans.
- 4.5L: This may be too large for a can of beans.
- 450mL: This is a reasonable measurement for a can of beans.
The most reasonable measurement for a can of beans would be 450mL.
4. A mug of coffee:
- 0.21L: This is a reasonable measurement for a mug of coffee.
- 21mL: This is too small for a mug of coffee.
- 2.1L: This is too large for a mug of coffee.
The most reasonable measurement for a mug of coffee would be 0.21L.
5. A carton of milk:
- 1000mL: This is a reasonable measurement for a carton of milk.
- 100L: This is too large for a carton of milk.
- 100mL: This is too small for a carton of milk.
The most reasonable measurement for a carton of milk would be 1000mL.
6. A bottle of shampoo:
- 36L: This is a very large quantity and not typically used for a bottle of shampoo.
- 360mL: This is a reasonable measurement for a bottle of shampoo.
- 3.6L: This is too large for a bottle of shampoo.
The most reasonable measurement for a bottle of shampoo would be 360mL.
Based on these evaluations, the most reasonable measurements for each item would be:
1. A canteen of water: 1L
2. A bucket of sap: 38L
3. A can of beans: 450mL
4. A mug of coffee: 0.21L
5. A carton of milk: 1000mL
6. A bottle of shampoo: 360mL
Hope this helps!
