Erika had some juice. Each day, she drank an equal amount of juice. At the end of the fifth day, she had 1600 mℓ of juice left. At the end of the sixth day, she had 1000 mℓ of juice left.
- What was the amount of juice she drank each day?
- How much juice did Erika have at first? Give your answer in litres and millilitres.
(a)
Volume of juice that Erika drank each day
= 1600 - 1000
= 600 mℓ
(b)
Volume of juice that Erika had at first
= 1600 + 600 x 5
= 1600 + 3000
= 4600 mℓ
1000 mℓ = 1 ℓ
4600 mℓ = 4 ℓ 600 mℓ
Volume of juice that Erika had at first = 4 ℓ 600 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 600 mℓ; (b) 4 ℓ 600 mℓ
