Answers

P5 Maths Quiz: Measurement (Volume) - ANSWERS

Questions: 20 Time: 35 minutes Total Marks: 50

Section A: Multiple Choice (10 marks)

[2 marks each]

  1. D) 125 cm³

    • Volume of cube = side³ = 5³ = 125 cm³

  2. C) 192 cm³

    • Volume of cuboid = length × width × height = 8 × 6 × 4 = 192 cm³

  3. C) 2,500 mL

    • 1 L = 1,000 mL
    • 2.5 L = 2.5 × 1,000 = 2,500 mL

  4. C) 800,000 cm³

    • 1 m³ = 1,000,000 cm³
    • 0.8 m³ = 0.8 × 1,000,000 = 800,000 cm³

  5. C) L

    • Swimming pools contain thousands of litres, so L is the most appropriate unit

Section B: Short Answer (20 marks)

[4 marks each]

  1. Volume = 480 cm³ Working: Volume = length × width × height Volume = 12 × 8 × 5 = 480 cm³

  2. Conversions: a) 3.2 L = 3,200 mL Working: 3.2 × 1,000 = 3,200 mL

    b) 4,500 cm³ = 4.5 L Working: 4,500 ÷ 1,000 = 4.5 L

  3. Water tank volume: a) Volume = 3.6 m³ Working: 2 × 1.5 × 1.2 = 3.6 m³

    b) Volume = 3,600 L Working: 3.6 × 1,000 = 3,600 L

  4. Number of small cubes = 60 Working:

    • Volume of box = 10 × 8 × 6 = 480 cm³
    • Volume of small cube = 2³ = 8 cm³
    • Number of cubes = 480 ÷ 8 = 60 cubes

  5. Volume of water = 2,400 cm³ Working: Volume = 20 × 15 × 8 = 2,400 cm³

Section C: Word Problems (20 marks)

[5 marks each]

  1. Fish Tank Problem: 96 L Working:

    • Full height = 50 cm
    • Water height = 4/5 × 50 = 40 cm
    • Volume of water = 60 × 40 × 40 = 96,000 cm³
    • In litres: 96,000 ÷ 1,000 = 96 L

  2. Swimming Pool: 600 kL Working:

    • Volume = 25 × 12 × 2 = 600 m³
    • 1 m³ = 1 kL
    • Volume = 600 kL

  3. Storage Volume: 216 m³ Working:

    • Volume of one box = 1.5³ = 3.375 m³
    • Total volume = 64 × 3.375 = 216 m³

  4. Daily juice production: 1,728 L Working:

    • Volume of one carton = 8 × 6 × 15 = 720 cm³
    • Daily volume = 2,400 × 720 = 1,728,000 cm³
    • In litres: 1,728,000 ÷ 1,000 = 1,728 L

End of Answers

Common Conversion Formulas:

  • 1 L = 1,000 mL = 1,000 cm³
  • 1 m³ = 1,000,000 cm³ = 1,000 L = 1 kL
