Cindy had some juice. Each day, she drank an equal amount of juice. At the end of the fourth day, she had 1300 mℓ of juice left. At the end of the fifth day, she had 1100 mℓ of juice left.
- What was the amount of juice she drank each day?
- How much juice did Cindy have at first? Give your answer in litres and millilitres.
(a)
Volume of juice that Cindy drank each day
= 1300 - 1100
= 200 mℓ
(b)
Volume of juice that Cindy had at first
= 1300 + 200 x 4
= 1300 + 800
= 2100 mℓ
1000 mℓ = 1 ℓ
2100 mℓ = 2 ℓ 100 mℓ
Volume of juice that Cindy had at first = 2 ℓ 100 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 200 mℓ; (b) 2 ℓ 100 mℓ
