Bucket G has thrice as much water as Bucket F. If Cody adds 0.6 ℓ of water to Bucket G and 2.1 ℓ of water to Bucket F, both buckets will have the same volume of water. Find the volume of water in Bucket G at first.
| |
F |
G |
| Before |
1 u |
3 u |
| Change |
+ 2.1 |
+ 0.6 |
| After |
1 u + 2.1 |
3 u + 0.6 |
Both buckets have the same volume of water in the end.
3 u + 0.6 = 1 u + 2.1
3 u - 1 u = 2.1 - 0.6
2 u = 1.5
1 u = 1.5 ÷ 2 = 0.75
Volume of water in Bucket G at first
= 3 u
= 3 x 0.75
= 2.25 ℓ
Answer(s): 2.25 ℓ
