There is 237 mℓ more water in Container H than in Container G. There is 294 mℓ less water in Container G than in Container J. The total amount of water in the three containers is 1485 mℓ.
- How much more water is there in Container J than in Container H?
- How much water is there in Container G?
(a)
Volume of Container G = 1 u
Volume of Container H = 1 u + 237
Volume of Container J = 1 u + 294
Volume of more water in Container J than Container H
= 294 - 237
= 57 mℓ
(b)
Total volume in the 3 containers
= 1 u + 1 u + 237 + 1 u + 294
= 3 u + 531
3 u + 531 = 1485
3 u = 1485 - 531
3 u = 954
1 u = 954 ÷ 3 = 318
Volume of water in Container G
= 1 u
= 318 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 57 mℓ; (b) 318mℓ
