Question

A tall glass can hold 750 cm3 of water. A bottle can hold twice as much water as the glass. A jug can hold four times as much water as the bottle. what is the total capacity of 3 such bottles and 4 such jugs?

Answer 1

From the information we have the capacity of the glass is 750

The capacity of the bottle will be:

2 * 750 = 1500

The jug will hold four times more than the bottle so it will hold:

1500 * 4 = 6000

Three bottles will hold :

3 * 1500 = 4,500

Four  jugs will hold:

4 * 6000 = 24,000

To find out the total capacities of the three bottles and four jugs we add:

4,500 + 24,000 = 28,500

Therefore the total capacity of 3 bottles and 4 jugs is 28,500 cm3
