Water flow questions

1. To perform the measuring, use a container that shows the volume it can hold (a bottle of soda, or box of milk) and put it in the sink. Let the water running directly to the container for thirty seconds. observe the quantity, and multiply it by two. The result will be the water flow spent every minute.
  • What is the measure of the water flow?
  • How much time do you spend while taking a shower?
  • How many times a day do you do that?
  • How many times in a week do you take a shower?
  • Propose two word problems

This is picture in which we show what is a cubic meter and the essential things we need to know about it.

Cubic meter chart



This is a chart in which we show the cubic meter units and of what they are composed:
DM3
CM3
MM3
and M3

What is volume?


Volume is the amount of space enclosed by a shape, body or object it can be measured by m3, that corresponds to the space that is on the inside part of a cube that have 1 m on one side.The volume is the measurement of space occupied in 3 dimensions. (When you measure around something is the perimeter, when you measure the surface of something is the area and when you measure the inside of something is the volume.

what is Capacity?


Capacity is the amount of liquid a container can hold in other words, capacity is the volume of a container giving in terms of liquid measurement.Capacity means how much something can hold, words that describe it are cup, pint, quart, gallon and liter. Capacity and volume are an example of two synonymous, because the volume is like the inside of something and the capacity what something can hold.
