2 Which water reservoir has the biggest capacity?
-
Silver Stream: 2750 UK gallons
Step 1: Convert UK gallons to Liters using 1UKgallon=4.54609 L.
2750UKgallons×1UKgallon4.54609L=12501.7475 L
Silver Stream capacity: 12501.7475 L
-
Placid Water: 13207.5 US quarts
Step 1: Convert US quarts to Liters using 1USquart=0.946353 L.
13207.5USquarts×1USquart0.946353L=12499.9999775 L
Placid Water capacity: 12499.9999775 L
Step 2: Compare the capacities in Liters.
12501.7475 L (Silver Stream) is greater than 12499.9999775 L (Placid Water).

3 Mrs Hawthorne needs to buy Italian gelato ice-cream for her dinner party of 8 guests. Would Mrs Hawthorne get more gelato if she bought two 1.5849 US quart tubs of gelato or 8 individual tubs of 0.43995 UK pint each?
-
Option 1: Two 1.5849 US quart tubs
Step 1: Calculate total volume in US quarts.
2tubs×1.5849USquarts/tub=3.1698 US quarts
Step 2: Convert total US quarts to Liters using 1USquart=0.946353 L.
3.1698USquarts×1USquart0.946353L=2.999999994 L
Total volume for Option 1: 2.999999994 L
-
Option 2: Eight 0.43995 UK pint tubs
Step 1: Calculate total volume in UK pints.
8tubs×0.43995UKpints/tub=3.5196 UK pints
Step 2: Convert total UK pints to Liters using 1UKpint=0.568261 L.
3.5196UKpints×1UKpint0.568261L=1.9999999956 L
Total volume for Option 2: 1.9999999956 L
