There is 245 mℓ more water in Container H than in Container G. There is 282 mℓ less water in Container G than in Container J. The total amount of water in the three containers is 1400 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 + 245
Volume of Container J = 1 u + 282
Volume of more water in Container J than Container H
= 282 - 245
= 37 mℓ
(b)
Total volume in the 3 containers
= 1 u + 1 u + 245 + 1 u + 282
= 3 u + 527
3 u + 527 = 1400
3 u = 1400 - 527
3 u = 873
1 u = 873 ÷ 3 = 291
Volume of water in Container G
= 1 u
= 291 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 37 mℓ; (b) 291mℓ
