Chloe poured 1111 mℓ of fruit punch into a glass, a mug and a cup. The glass contained 2 times as much fruit punch as the mug. The cup contained 94 mℓ of fruit punch.
- How much fruit punch did the mug contain?
- How much more fruit punch did the glass contain than the cup?
(a)
Volume of fruit punch that a glass contained = 2 u
Volume of fruit punch that a mug contained = 1 u
Volume of fruit punch that a cup contained = 94 mℓ
Total volume of fruit punch
= 2 u + 1 u + 94
= 3 u + 94
3 u + 94 = 1111
3 u = 1111 - 94
3 u = 1017
1 u = 1017 ÷ 3 = 339
Volume of fruit punch the mug contained
= 1 u
= 339 mℓ
(b)
Amount of fruit punch that the glass contained more than the cup
= 2 u - 94
= (2 x 339) - 94
= 678 - 94
= 584 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 339 mℓ; (b) 584 mℓ
