There is 220 mℓ more water in Container U than in Container T. There is 318 mℓ less water in Container T than in Container V. The total amount of water in the three containers is 1465 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 + 220
Volume of Container V = 1 u + 318
Volume of more water in Container V than Container U
= 318 - 220
= 98 mℓ
(b)
Total volume in the 3 containers
= 1 u + 1 u + 220 + 1 u + 318
= 3 u + 538
3 u + 538 = 1465
3 u = 1465 - 538
3 u = 927
1 u = 927 ÷ 3 = 309
Volume of water in Container T
= 1 u
= 309 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 98 mℓ; (b) 309mℓ
