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?

\(BMI = \dfrac{Body\ mass\ (kg)}{Height\ (m)\times Height\ (m)}\\ \quad\space\space\space=\dfrac{36}{1.4\times 1.4}\\ \quad\space\space\space=\dfrac{36}{1.96}\\ \quad\space\space\space=18.36 \)                                           

                       

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?

\(1\ 500\ ml\) → \(180\ g\)

\(1\ ml\) → \(\dfrac{180\ g}{1500\ ml}\)

\(450\ ml\) → \(\dfrac{180\ g}{1500\ ml}\times450\ ml=54\ g \)                                    

 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%

\(\dfrac{95}{100}\times\ 68\ kg=0.95\times 68\ kg \)

 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

\(\begin{aligned}\\ \small{\color{red}2}\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\\ \dfrac{3}{\cancel7}\times\cancel{14}\ m=3\times2\ m\\ \small{\color{red}1}\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\\ \quad\quad= 6\ m\quad\space\space\\ \end{aligned}\\\)

The cost of the tablecloth

\(\begin{aligned}\\ \small{\color{red}{RM30}}\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\space\space\\ \dfrac{3}{\cancel7}\times\cancel{RM210}\ m=3\times RM30\\ \small{\color{red}1}\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\\ \quad\quad= RM\ 90\quad\space\\ \end{aligned}\\\)
