There is 224 mℓ more water in Container G than in Container F. There is 321 mℓ less water in Container F than in Container H. The total amount of water in the three containers is 1574 mℓ.
- How much more water is there in Container H than in Container G?
- How much water is there in Container F?
(a)
Volume of Container F = 1 u
Volume of Container G = 1 u + 224
Volume of Container H = 1 u + 321
Volume of more water in Container H than Container G
= 321 - 224
= 97 mℓ
(b)
Total volume in the 3 containers
= 1 u + 1 u + 224 + 1 u + 321
= 3 u + 545
3 u + 545 = 1574
3 u = 1574 - 545
3 u = 1029
1 u = 1029 ÷ 3 = 343
Volume of water in Container F
= 1 u
= 343 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 97 mℓ; (b) 343mℓ
