CAPACITY ISSUES
A pool contains 46 kl and 8 hl of water. To finish
To fill it, 12 kgs are added, and 2,500 liters. How many liters?
How much water fits in the pool?
46 kl., 8 hl = 46 x 1,000 + 8 x 100 = 46,800 liters of water the pool contained.
-> 12 x 1,000 + 2,500 = 14,500 liters were added
46.800 + 14.500 = 61.300 liters fit in the pool.

A deposit contains 12.5 kiloliters of oil. How many liters of
Is there oil in the tank?
12.5 kiloliters = 12.5 x 1,000 12,500 liters
3.- In a cider house, there are two barrels of cider. In the first one, there are 23
hl. and 7 dal; in the second 9 kiloliters and 24 liters. How many liters
How much sidra is there in total?
23 hl. and 7 dal = 23 x 100 + 7 x 10 = 2,370 liters is a barrel.
9 kiloliters and 24 liters = 9 x 1,000 + 24 The second one has 9.024 liters.
There are a total of 11.394 liters of cider.

4.- On the shelf of a supermarket, there are 24 bottles of juice.
of orange, if each bottle has a capacity of 2.5 liters,
How many liters of juice are there?
24 bottles x 2.5 liters = 60 liters of juice.
Mass Problems
1.- A block of marble weighs 2 tons, 6 quintals, and 57
kilograms. How many kilograms does the block of marble weigh?
One ton (t) = 1,000 kilograms. A quintal (q) = 100 kilograms.
2 tons, 6 quintals, 57 kilograms = 2 x 1,000 + 6 x 100 + 57 = 2.657 kg. weighs the marble.
In a warehouse, there were 34 bags of potatoes, each weighing 50 kilos.
If three quarters of the total were sold. How many kilos of
potatoes left unsold?
34 x 50 = 1,700 kilos of potatoes were in the warehouse
3/4 of 1,700 (1.700 : 4) x 3 = 1.275 kilos were sold
1.700 - 1.275 425 kilos of potatoes remained unsold.
A truck carries 14 iron beams. Each beam weighs 3200 kilos.
What is the total weight in tons?
3.200 x 14 = 44.800 kilos weighs the beam
To convert from kilograms to tons, you need to divide.
44.800 : 1.000 = 44,880 tons.
A loaf of bread weighs 450 grams. What is the weight of 230?
bars? Express it in kilograms.
1st.- We will find the weight of all the bread loaves in grams.
230 x 450 103.500 grams.
2nd.- We convert grams to kilograms.
103.500 : 1.000 103,500 kilograms = 103 kilograms and 500 grams
