Claudia brought a 16-cup jug filled with water to the soccer game. She shared the water with her teammates.
How can Claudia find out how much water they all drank?
CLEAR CHECK
Use a measuring cup to find the amount of water left in the jug, and then subtract the number of cups from 16.
Use a scale to weigh the water left in the jug, and then subtract the number of pounds from 16.
Use a ruler to find the height of the water left in the jug, and then subtract the number of inches from 16.
The first option is the most appropriate way for Claudia to find out how much water her teammates drank. She can use a measuring cup to measure the amount of water left in the jug and then subtract that from the initial 16 cups to determine the amount of water consumed.
Casey cuts a 2-pound melon into two pieces and puts each piece on a plate, as shown.
Does that mean the weight of the pieces on each plate is 1 pound?

No, because the pieces of the melon are not the same size.
Yes, because 2 ÷ 2 = 1.
No, because 2 parts of a melon weigh more than 1 whole melon.
The correct answer is:
No, because the pieces of the melon are not the same size.
