Length, Mass and Volume of Liquid
7.1 Measurement of Length, Mass and Volume of Liquid
Let's Calculate

Situation 1

Student 1: Ajay, your height is 1.4 m.

Student 2: Ajay, your mass is 36 kg.

Does Ajay have an ideal body mass?

Body mass (kg)


BM I =
Height (m) × Height (m)
​

36
=
1.4 × 1.4
​

36
=
1.96
​

= 18.36

Situation 2

The picture below shows the volume of water in two containers, R and S.

Mrs Jim wants to prepare some syrup. Sh dissolves 180 g of sugar in container R. How much sugar, in g, should be dissolved in container S so
that both the containers have the same concentration of syrup?

1 500 ml → 180 g
180 g
1 ml →
1500 ml

180 g
450 ml → × 450 ml = 54 g
1500 ml

Solve the Problems

Situation 1

Maria’s body mass is 68 kg. She is obese based on her mass, height, and age. She tried to reduce her body mass by cycling 3 km and jogging
2.5 km every day for four weeks. Then, her body mass decreased by 5%. Calculate Maria’s new body mass

Solution:

Original mass = 100%

New mass = 100% - 5% = 95%

95
× 68 kg = 0.95 × 68 kg
100
​

5 3
7 4
0.95
× 6 8 kg ​

+5 7 0 0 ​

6 4 .6 0 kg ​

Situation 2

Puan Ina buys a piece of cloth measuring 14 m in length that costs RM210. The cloth is cut into 7 pieces of equal lengths. She uses 3 pieces of the
cloth to make a tablecloth. What is the length of cloth, in m, used to make the tablecloth? Calculate the cost of the tablecloth.

Solution:

The length of the tablecloth

=6m

The cost of the tablecloth

RM 30
