Zoe had some tea. Each day, she drank an equal amount of tea. At the end of the fourth day, she had 1300 mℓ of tea left. At the end of the fifth day, she had 1000 mℓ of tea left.
- What was the amount of tea she drank each day?
- How much tea did Zoe have at first? Give your answer in litres and millilitres.
(a)
Volume of tea that Zoe drank each day
= 1300 - 1000
= 300 mℓ
(b)
Volume of tea that Zoe had at first
= 1300 + 300 x 4
= 1300 + 1200
= 2500 mℓ
1000 mℓ = 1 ℓ
2500 mℓ = 2 ℓ 500 mℓ
Volume of tea that Zoe had at first = 2 ℓ 500 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 300 mℓ; (b) 2 ℓ 500 mℓ
