Harper bought a 35-pound bag of birdseed. She filled some bird feeders with the seed.
How can Harper find out how much birdseed she used?
Use a tape measure to find the height of the seed left in the bag, and then subtract the number of inches from 35.
Use pint containers to measure the volume of the seed left in the bag, and then subtract the number of pints from 35.
Use a scale to weigh the amount of seed left in the bag, and then subtract the number of pounds from 35.

Fernanda bought a 500-milliliter container of orange juice. She used some of the juice and has 200 milliliters left. How much orange juice did she use?
300 milliliters
700 milliliters
1,000 milliliters
To find out how much orange juice Fernanda used, we need to subtract the amount left (200 milliliters) from the initial amount (500 milliliters).
Therefore, Fernanda used 500 - 200 = 300 milliliters of orange juice.
1 cup = 8 fluid ounces
Does that mean it takes 24 fluid ounces of water to fill any 3 plastic cups?
3 plastic cups are the same height but different widths.
CLEAR CHECK
Yes, because water is liquid.
No, because not every drinking cup has a volume of 1 cup.
Yes, because 3 × 8 = 24.
No, because the cups are made of plastic
Yes, because 3 x 8 = 24 fluid ounces.
