There is 216 mℓ more water in Container U than in Container T. There is 288 mℓ less water in Container T than in Container V. The total amount of water in the three containers is 1428 mℓ.
- How much more water is there in Container V than in Container U?
- How much water is there in Container T?
(a)
Volume of Container T = 1 u
Volume of Container U = 1 u + 216
Volume of Container V = 1 u + 288
Volume of more water in Container V than Container U
= 288 - 216
= 72 mℓ
(b)
Total volume in the 3 containers
= 1 u + 1 u + 216 + 1 u + 288
= 3 u + 504
3 u + 504 = 1428
3 u = 1428 - 504
3 u = 924
1 u = 924 ÷ 3 = 308
Volume of water in Container T
= 1 u
= 308 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 72 mℓ; (b) 308mℓ
