There is 241 mℓ more water in Container H than in Container G. There is 314 mℓ less water in Container G than in Container J. The total amount of water in the three containers is 1401 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 + 241
Volume of Container J = 1 u + 314
Volume of more water in Container J than Container H
= 314 - 241
= 73 mℓ
(b)
Total volume in the 3 containers
= 1 u + 1 u + 241 + 1 u + 314
= 3 u + 555
3 u + 555 = 1401
3 u = 1401 - 555
3 u = 846
1 u = 846 ÷ 3 = 282
Volume of water in Container G
= 1 u
= 282 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 73 mℓ; (b) 282mℓ
