There is 237 mℓ more water in Container L than in Container K. There is 301 mℓ less water in Container K than in Container M. The total amount of water in the three containers is 1483 mℓ.
- How much more water is there in Container M than in Container L?
- How much water is there in Container K?
(a)
Volume of Container K = 1 u
Volume of Container L = 1 u + 237
Volume of Container M = 1 u + 301
Volume of more water in Container M than Container L
= 301 - 237
= 64 mℓ
(b)
Total volume in the 3 containers
= 1 u + 1 u + 237 + 1 u + 301
= 3 u + 538
3 u + 538 = 1483
3 u = 1483 - 538
3 u = 945
1 u = 945 ÷ 3 = 315
Volume of water in Container K
= 1 u
= 315 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 64 mℓ; (b) 315mℓ
