Olivia had some juice. Each day, she drank an equal amount of juice. At the end of the fifth day, she had 1300 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 Olivia have at first? Give your answer in litres and millilitres.
(a)
Volume of juice that Olivia drank each day
= 1300 - 1000
= 300 mℓ
(b)
Volume of juice that Olivia had at first
= 1300 + 300 x 5
= 1300 + 1500
= 2800 mℓ
1000 mℓ = 1 ℓ
2800 mℓ = 2 ℓ 800 mℓ
Volume of juice that Olivia had at first = 2 ℓ 800 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 300 mℓ; (b) 2 ℓ 800 mℓ
