How to work them out

1. The measures are all in cm, so we can compare the numbers. Put them in order: 5 cm, 13 cm, 19 cm, 26 cm. The biggest number is the one we want. So the longest is 26 cm.

2. The juice starts at 0 at the bottom of the jug. The top of the juice is level with the 100 ml line. So there is 100 ml of juice.

3. The line starts at 0 on the ruler. Its end lines up with the 2 cm mark. So the line is 2 cm long.

4. The needle starts from 0 on the scale. Each mark is 250 g apart, and the needle is 2 marks up. So the mass is 2 lots of 250 g, which is 500 g.

5. The − sign means we take the second amount away from the first. So take away 30 g from 53 g to find how much is left. That gives 53 g − 30 g = 23 g.

6. The line starts at 0 on the ruler. The nearest number before the end is 20; count on 7 more cm to 27. So the line is 27 cm long.

7. The needle starts from 0 on the scale. Each mark is 250 g apart, and the needle is 3 marks up. So the mass is 3 lots of 250 g, which is 750 g.

8. The measures are all in ml, so we can compare the numbers. Put them in order: 50 ml, 58 ml, 67 ml, 79 ml. The smallest number is the one we want. So the one that holds the least is 50 ml.

9. The juice starts at 0 at the bottom of the jug. Each line going up is worth 200 ml, and the juice reaches 2 lines up. That is 2 lots of 200, so there is 400 ml of juice.

10. The − sign means we take the second amount away from the first. So take away 27 ml from 74 ml to find how much is left. That gives 74 ml − 27 ml = 47 ml.
