Nora poured 613 mℓ of fruit punch into a glass, a bottle and a cup. The glass contained 4 times as much fruit punch as the bottle. The cup contained 98 mℓ of fruit punch.
- How much fruit punch did the bottle contain?
- How much more fruit punch did the glass contain than the cup?
(a)
Volume of fruit punch that a glass contained = 4 u
Volume of fruit punch that a bottle contained = 1 u
Volume of fruit punch that a cup contained = 98 mℓ
Total volume of fruit punch
= 4 u + 1 u + 98
= 5 u + 98
5 u + 98 = 613
5 u = 613 - 98
5 u = 515
1 u = 515 ÷ 5 = 103
Volume of fruit punch the bottle contained
= 1 u
= 103 mℓ
(b)
Amount of fruit punch that the glass contained more than the cup
= 4 u - 98
= (4 x 103) - 98
= 412 - 98
= 314 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 103 mℓ; (b) 314 mℓ
