Usha had some tea. Each day, she drank an equal amount of tea. At the end of the fifth day, she had 1400 mℓ of tea left. At the end of the sixth day, she had 1100 mℓ of tea left.
- What was the amount of tea she drank each day?
- How much tea did Usha have at first? Give your answer in litres and millilitres.
(a)
Volume of tea that Usha drank each day
= 1400 - 1100
= 300 mℓ
(b)
Volume of tea that Usha had at first
= 1400 + 300 x 5
= 1400 + 1500
= 2900 mℓ
1000 mℓ = 1 ℓ
2900 mℓ = 2 ℓ 900 mℓ
Volume of tea that Usha had at first = 2 ℓ 900 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 300 mℓ; (b) 2 ℓ 900 mℓ
