Full, empty, and in between W1-mt_zkFbMLpu3U-s1

  1. 3 · Three equal cupfuls filled the jug.
  2. Its capacity stays the same · Pouring changes the water inside, not how much the unchanged cup can hold.
  3. Cup B · The taller bar means more water. Cup B has more.
  4. True · The full cup contains water. The other cup contains none.
  5. 2 · The half-full cup and the full cup have more water. That is two cups.
  6. Quarter full · One of four equal capacity amounts is filled, so the cup is quarter full.
  7. Jug A can hold less · Both jugs started empty. Jug A needs fewer equal full cupfuls to fill, so it can hold less.
  8. False · For same-size cups, quarter full is less water than half full.
  9. False · The cups started empty and received equal amounts without spills. Their shapes do not change those amounts.
  10. 2 · Two cupful spaces are empty, so two more equal cupfuls will fill the jug.
