Sabrina had some tea. Each day, she drank an equal amount of tea. At the end of the fifth day, she had 1400 mℓ of tea left. At the end of the sixth day, she had 1000 mℓ of tea left.
- What was the amount of tea she drank each day?
- How much tea did Sabrina have at first? Give your answer in litres and millilitres.
(a)
Volume of tea that Sabrina drank each day
= 1400 - 1000
= 400 mℓ
(b)
Volume of tea that Sabrina had at first
= 1400 + 400 x 5
= 1400 + 2000
= 3400 mℓ
1000 mℓ = 1 ℓ
3400 mℓ = 3 ℓ 400 mℓ
Volume of tea that Sabrina had at first = 3 ℓ 400 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 400 mℓ; (b) 3 ℓ 400 mℓ
