Question

Juliet wants to know if the chicken broth in this beaker will fit into this rectangular food storage container.



a) Explain how you would figure it out without pouring the contents in. (Remember: 1 cm3 = 1 mL.)

Answer 1

Answer:

Doesn't fit

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2.4litres in the beaker if you count the lines; they increment by 0.4 litres each. The volume of the storage container is 20 x 15 x 7 = 2100 cm^3 (cm cubed). 1 cm^3 = 1 ml; the cube can hold 2100 mL which is 2.1 litres, which is less than the 2.4 litres in the beaker, therefore it will not fit.
