There is 212 mℓ more water in Container G than in Container F. There is 292 mℓ less water in Container F than in Container H. The total amount of water in the three containers is 1425 mℓ.
- How much more water is there in Container H than in Container G?
- How much water is there in Container F?
(a)
Volume of Container F = 1 u
Volume of Container G = 1 u + 212
Volume of Container H = 1 u + 292
Volume of more water in Container H than Container G
= 292 - 212
= 80 mℓ
(b)
Total volume in the 3 containers
= 1 u + 1 u + 212 + 1 u + 292
= 3 u + 504
3 u + 504 = 1425
3 u = 1425 - 504
3 u = 921
1 u = 921 ÷ 3 = 307
Volume of water in Container F
= 1 u
= 307 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 80 mℓ; (b) 307mℓ
