The Capacity of a 1 cm cube is 1 mL. How many 1 cm ice cubes do you need to melt to fill a 1.5 L jar.
Svetach [21]

1500 ice cubes need to fill 1.5 L jar

Solution:

1 cm = 1 ml

Capacity of ice cube = 1 cm

                                   = 1 ml

Capacity of jar = 1.5 L

1 L = 1000 ml

1.5 L = 1.5 × 1000

       = 1500 ml

Capacity of jar = 1500 ml

$\text{Number of ice cubes} =\frac{\text{Capacity of ice cube}}{\text{Capacity of jar}}

                                $=\frac{1500}{1}

                                = 1500

Therefore 1500 ice cubes need to fill 1.5 L jar.
