Step-by-step guide to solve Exercise 2 on pages 124-125, Mathematics Grade 5 Workbook
Problem:
Given the volume ratio of two cubic shapes is 2 : 3 (refer to the diagram).
a) What percentage of the volume of the large cube is the volume of the small cube?
b) Calculate the volume of the large cube.
Solution Method:
- Given the volume ratio of the two cubes is 2:3 (as stated in the problem) => Express the volume ratio of the large and small cubes, then write it as a percentage ratio
- Calculate the volume of the large cube by multiplying the volume of the small cube by the volume ratio of the large and small cubes.
Answer:
a) The volume ratio of the large and small cubes is 3:2
So, the percentage volume ratio of the large cube to the small cube is:
