There is 238 mℓ more water in Container U than in Container T. There is 329 mℓ less water in Container T than in Container V. The total amount of water in the three containers is 1578 mℓ.
- How much more water is there in Container V than in Container U?
- How much water is there in Container T?
(a)
Volume of Container T = 1 u
Volume of Container U = 1 u + 238
Volume of Container V = 1 u + 329
Volume of more water in Container V than Container U
= 329 - 238
= 91 mℓ
(b)
Total volume in the 3 containers
= 1 u + 1 u + 238 + 1 u + 329
= 3 u + 567
3 u + 567 = 1578
3 u = 1578 - 567
3 u = 1011
1 u = 1011 ÷ 3 = 337
Volume of water in Container T
= 1 u
= 337 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 91 mℓ; (b) 337mℓ
