Raeann had some juice. Each day, she drank an equal amount of juice. At the end of the eighth day, she had 1600 mℓ of juice left. At the end of the ninth day, she had 1100 mℓ of juice left.
- What was the amount of juice she drank each day?
- How much juice did Raeann have at first? Give your answer in litres and millilitres.
(a)
Volume of juice that Raeann drank each day
= 1600 - 1100
= 500 mℓ
(b)
Volume of juice that Raeann had at first
= 1600 + 500 x 8
= 1600 + 4000
= 5600 mℓ
1000 mℓ = 1 ℓ
5600 mℓ = 5 ℓ 600 mℓ
Volume of juice that Raeann had at first = 5 ℓ 600 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 500 mℓ; (b) 5 ℓ 600 mℓ
