Question

Badal has 120 cm of water. He wants to pour it into a rectangular vase that is 4 cm high, 4 cm wide, and 5 cm long. Can he pour all the water into the vase? Explain.

Answer 1

No, Badal cannot pour all the water into the vase because the volume of water he has (120 cm^3) is greater than the volume of the vase.

The volume of the vase is given by multiplying its height, width, and length:

Volume of the vase = height x width x length

= 4 cm x 4 cm x 5 cm

= 80 cm^3

Since the volume of the vase is 80 cm^3 and the amount of water Badal has is 120 cm^3, the vase cannot hold all the water. Badal will need to use a larger vase or pour the water in multiple batches to fit all the water.

Answer 2

No, Badal cannot pour all the water into the vase.

The volume of the rectangular vase is:

4 cm x 4 cm x 5 cm = 80 cm³

Since the vase can hold 80 cm³ of water, and Badal has 120 cm of water, he cannot pour all the water into the vase at once. He would need to find a larger container to hold all the water.
