Jean had some juice. Each day, she drank an equal amount of juice. At the end of the seventh day, she had 1500 mℓ of juice left. At the end of the eighth day, she had 1300 mℓ of juice left.
- What was the amount of juice she drank each day?
- How much juice did Jean have at first? Give your answer in litres and millilitres.
(a)
Volume of juice that Jean drank each day
= 1500 - 1300
= 200 mℓ
(b)
Volume of juice that Jean had at first
= 1500 + 200 x 7
= 1500 + 1400
= 2900 mℓ
1000 mℓ = 1 ℓ
2900 mℓ = 2 ℓ 900 mℓ
Volume of juice that Jean had at first = 2 ℓ 900 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 200 mℓ; (b) 2 ℓ 900 mℓ
