Answer:
Volume Comparison of Bottles, Bowls, and Glasses
To determine which of the bottles, bowls, or glasses holds more water, follow these steps:
Gather Materials
Collect the bottles, bowls, and glasses of various sizes.
Measure Volume
Measure the volume of each item using a measuring cup or any other volumetric measurement tool.
Record Measurements
Record the volume of each container.
Steps to Measure the Volume
- Fill a Measuring Cup: Use a measuring cup to fill each container with water and note the amount of water it can hold.
- Transfer Method: Alternatively, you can use one container to fill another and count how many times it takes to fill it. For example, how many glasses of water it takes to fill a bowl.
Example Calculation
- Volume Measurement:
- Bottle: Holds 1 liter (1000 ml)
- Bowl: Holds 500 ml
- Glass: Holds 250 ml
- Calculate Fill Counts:
- Bottle filled with Bowls: 1000 ml / 500 ml = 2 bowls
- Bottle filled with Glasses: 1000 ml / 250 ml = 4 glasses
