    6 tubs hold 125 litres in all.About how much does each tub hold?

    • C.

      22 litres

    Correct Answer
    A. 20 litres
    Explanation
    Each tub holds 20 litres because if there are 6 tubs in total and they hold a combined total of 125 litres, dividing 125 by 6 gives us 20. Therefore, each tub holds approximately 20 litres.

    (2 × 3) × 6 =

    • A.

      6 + 3 + 2

    • B.

      (2 × 6) + 3

    • C.

      6 × (3 × 2)

    Correct Answer
    C. 6 × (3 × 2)
    Explanation
    The given equation (2 × 3) × 6 can be simplified by following the order of operations, which states that multiplication should be done before addition. Therefore, we first multiply 2 and 3 to get 6, and then multiply the result by 6 to get the final answer of 36. This matches the equation 6 × (3 × 2), where the inner parentheses are multiplied first to get 6, and then multiplied by 6 to get 36.
