Sophie drinks 500 millilitres of orange juice every day. How long will it take her to drink 20 litres?

Detailed Solution: Question 2

To determine how long it will take Sophie to drink 20 litres of orange juice, first convert 20 litres to millilitres.
Since 1 litre is equal to 1000 millilitres, 20 litres is 20,000 millilitres.
Sophie drinks 500 millilitres per day, so divide 20,000 millilitres by 500 millilitres/day:

Therefore, it will take Sophie 40 days to drink 20 litres of orange juice.

Jake has three cups of tea every day but he never drinks an entire cup. On average he throws away 25 millilitres each cup. Approximately how much tea does he waste in a calendar month consisting of 30 days?

Detailed Solution: Question 3

3 (cups) x 30 (days) x 25 (ml waste) = 2,250 millilitres or 2.25 litres

Test: Measuring distance and time - Question 4
Save

A level teaspoon is approximately 5 ml. How many level teaspoons in 1.5 litres?

Detailed Solution: Question 4

Convert 1.5 litres to millilitres: 1.5 litres = 1,500 millilitres.
Since one level teaspoon is approximately 5 ml, divide 1,500 ml by 5 ml/teaspoon: 1,500 ÷ 5 = 300 teaspoons.
Therefore, there are 300 level teaspoons in 1.5 litres.

Test: Measuring distance and time - Question 5
Save

There are 1,000 litres of sand in a sandpit. If a bucket holds 11 litres, approximately how many buckets of sand are in the sandpit?

Detailed Solution: Question 5

Divide 1,000 litres by 11 litres per bucket: 1,000 ÷ 11 = 90.90909090909091.
Since the question asks for an approximate number of buckets, round 90.91 to the nearest integer, which is 91.
Therefore, there are approximately 91 buckets of sand in the sandpit.

Test: Measuring distance and time - Question 6
