Question: Salimah needs ten 350 ml cups of water to fill up Container X. What is the volume of Container X? Express your answer in litres and millilitres.

Solution:

  1. Salimah uses 10 cups of water, each containing 350 ml.

  2. The total volume of water required to fill Container X is calculated as: Total Volume=10×350ml=3500ml\text{Total Volume} = 10 \times 350 \, \text{ml} = 3500 \, \text{ml}

  3. Since 1 litre (L) = 1000 millilitres (ml), convert millilitres to litres: Volume in litres=3500ml1000=3.5litres\text{Volume in litres} = \frac{3500 \, \text{ml}}{1000} = 3.5 \, \text{litres}

Thus, the volume of Container X is 3.5 litres or 3500 millilitres.

Would you like further explanation or details? Here are 5 related questions to expand on this concept:

  1. If one cup contained 500 ml instead of 350 ml, how much water would be needed for 10 cups?
  2. How would the total volume change if you only used 7 cups instead of 10?
  3. Can you convert 3.5 litres to gallons? (Hint: 1 gallon ≈ 3.78541 litres)
  4. If Container X was only half-filled, what would its volume be in litres and millilitres?
  5. How many cups of 250 ml would be needed to fill up Container X?

Tip: When converting between units, always make sure to remember the basic conversion factors like 1 litre = 1000 millilitres.
