There is 242 mℓ more water in Container Y than in Container X. There is 337 mℓ less water in Container X than in Container Z. The total amount of water in the three containers is 1464 mℓ.
- How much more water is there in Container Z than in Container Y?
- How much water is there in Container X?
(a)
Volume of Container X = 1 u
Volume of Container Y = 1 u + 242
Volume of Container Z = 1 u + 337
Volume of more water in Container Z than Container Y
= 337 - 242
= 95 mℓ
(b)
Total volume in the 3 containers
= 1 u + 1 u + 242 + 1 u + 337
= 3 u + 579
3 u + 579 = 1464
3 u = 1464 - 579
3 u = 885
1 u = 885 ÷ 3 = 295
Volume of water in Container X
= 1 u
= 295 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 95 mℓ; (b) 295mℓ
