Ava poured 1019 mℓ of fruit punch into a glass, a bottle and a cup. The glass contained 3 times as much fruit punch as the bottle. The cup contained 107 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 = 3 u
Volume of fruit punch that a bottle contained = 1 u
Volume of fruit punch that a cup contained = 107 mℓ
Total volume of fruit punch
= 3 u + 1 u + 107
= 4 u + 107
4 u + 107 = 1019
4 u = 1019 - 107
4 u = 912
1 u = 912 ÷ 4 = 228
Volume of fruit punch the bottle contained
= 1 u
= 228 mℓ
(b)
Amount of fruit punch that the glass contained more than the cup
= 3 u - 107
= (3 x 228) - 107
= 684 - 107
= 577 mℓ
Answer(s): (a) 228 mℓ; (b) 577 mℓ
