Question

The diagram shows two mathematically similar bowls.

The larger bowl has capacity 7.8 litres and height 11.5 cm.
The smaller bowl has capacity 4 litres.
Calculate the height of the smaller bowl.

Answer 1

The smaller cup has a height of 4cm

Explanation:

.25 is half of .5

_ is half of 8
