There is 205 mℓ more water in Container V than in Container U. There is 331 mℓ less water in Container U than in Container W. The total amount of water in the three containers is 1466 mℓ.
- How much more water is there in Container W than in Container V?
- How much water is there in Container U?
(a)
Volume of Container U = 1 u
Volume of Container V = 1 u + 205
Volume of Container W = 1 u + 331
Volume of more water in Container W than Container V
= 331 - 205
= 126 mℓ
(b)
Total volume in the 3 containers
= 1 u + 1 u + 205 + 1 u + 331
= 3 u + 536
3 u + 536 = 1466
3 u = 1466 - 536
3 u = 930
1 u = 930 ÷ 3 = 310
Volume of water in Container U
= 1 u
= 310 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 126 mℓ; (b) 310mℓ
