b. If 1 cup holds 125 ml, how much coffee will 10 cups hold?
C. How many glasses of lemonade will each 5 litre jug hold?
d. How many cups of coffee will each 5 litre jug hold?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 1 glass holds 250 ml

multiply LHS and RHS by 4

=> 4 glasses holds 250 x 4 = 1000 ml = 1 litre

so 4 glasses hold 1 litre of lemonade

b. 1 cup holds 125 ml

multiply LHS and RHS by 10

=> 10 cups hold 125 x 10 = 1250 ml = 1.25 litres

so 10 cups hold 1.25 litres of coffee

c. no. of glasses = capacity of jug / capacity of glass

= 5000 / 250   [ in ml ]

= 20

so 5 litre jug holds 20 cups of lemonade

d. number of cups = capacity of jug / capacity of cup

= 5000 / 125     [ in ml ]

= 40

so 5 litre jug holds 40 cups of coffee

Answer 2

Answer:

a) 1 L. b) 1 L 250 mL c) 20 d) 40

c) 250 × 4 = 1 L

5 L × 4 = 20 glasses

d) 125 ml × 8 = 1000 ml

5 L × 8 = 40 cups
