Victoria had some tea. Each day, she drank an equal amount of tea. At the end of the fifth day, she had 1700 mℓ of tea left. At the end of the sixth day, she had 1100 mℓ of tea left.
- What was the amount of tea she drank each day?
- How much tea did Victoria have at first? Give your answer in litres and millilitres.
(a)
Volume of tea that Victoria drank each day
= 1700 - 1100
= 600 mℓ
(b)
Volume of tea that Victoria had at first
= 1700 + 600 x 5
= 1700 + 3000
= 4700 mℓ
1000 mℓ = 1 ℓ
4700 mℓ = 4 ℓ 700 mℓ
Volume of tea that Victoria had at first = 4 ℓ 700 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 600 mℓ; (b) 4 ℓ 700 mℓ
