Jane had some tea. Each day, she drank an equal amount of tea. At the end of the sixth day, she had 1500 mℓ of tea left. At the end of the seventh day, she had 1000 mℓ of tea left.
- What was the amount of tea she drank each day?
- How much tea did Jane have at first? Give your answer in litres and millilitres.
(a)
Volume of tea that Jane drank each day
= 1500 - 1000
= 500 mℓ
(b)
Volume of tea that Jane had at first
= 1500 + 500 x 6
= 1500 + 3000
= 4500 mℓ
1000 mℓ = 1 ℓ
4500 mℓ = 4 ℓ 500 mℓ
Volume of tea that Jane had at first = 4 ℓ 500 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 500 mℓ; (b) 4 ℓ 500 mℓ
