There is 215 mℓ more water in Container G than in Container F. There is 296 mℓ less water in Container F than in Container H. The total amount of water in the three containers is 1408 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 + 215
Volume of Container H = 1 u + 296
Volume of more water in Container H than Container G
= 296 - 215
= 81 mℓ
(b)
Total volume in the 3 containers
= 1 u + 1 u + 215 + 1 u + 296
= 3 u + 511
3 u + 511 = 1408
3 u = 1408 - 511
3 u = 897
1 u = 897 ÷ 3 = 299
Volume of water in Container F
= 1 u
= 299 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 81 mℓ; (b) 299mℓ
