There is 248 mℓ more water in Container H than in Container G. There is 310 mℓ less water in Container G than in Container J. The total amount of water in the three containers is 1557 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 + 248
Volume of Container J = 1 u + 310
Volume of more water in Container J than Container H
= 310 - 248
= 62 mℓ
(b)
Total volume in the 3 containers
= 1 u + 1 u + 248 + 1 u + 310
= 3 u + 558
3 u + 558 = 1557
3 u = 1557 - 558
3 u = 999
1 u = 999 ÷ 3 = 333
Volume of water in Container G
= 1 u
= 333 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 62 mℓ; (b) 333mℓ
