more than 1 - liter
about the same as 1 liter

1. milk jug

less than 1 liter
more than 1 liter
about the same as 1 liter

1. soda can

less than 1 liter
more than 1 liter
about the same as 1 liter

1. juice box

1. shade and label the cups to show how to decompose 100 milliliters into 10 equal parts.

how would your answer change if you decomposed 1,000 milliliters into 10 equal parts?

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze orange - juice carton

Typical orange - juice cartons are about 1 liter.

Step2: Analyze milk jug

Milk jugs usually hold more than 1 liter.

Step3: Analyze soda can

Soda cans are much less than 1 liter.

Step4: Analyze juice box

Juice boxes are less than 1 liter.

Step5: Decompose 100 milliliters

To decompose 100 milliliters into 10 equal parts, each part is $\frac{100}{10}=10$ milliliters. Shade and label each cup with 10 milliliters.

Step6: Decompose 1000 milliliters

If decomposing 1000 milliliters into 10 equal parts, each part is $\frac{1000}{10} = 100$ milliliters.

Answer:

1. about the same as 1 liter
2. more than 1 liter
3. less than 1 liter
4. less than 1 liter
5. Shade each of the 10 cups and label them as 10 milliliters. If decomposing 1000 milliliters into 10 equal parts, label each cup as 100 milliliters.
