At first, Container N and Container P contained 0.8 ℓ and 4.8 ℓ of water respectively. Some water from Container P was poured into Container N with no water spilling over. In the end, there was as much water in Container N as in Container P. How much water was poured from Container P to Container N?

Difference in the volume of water in Container N and Container P
= 4.8 - 0.8
= 4 ℓ
Volume of water poured from Container P to Container N
= 4 ÷ 2
= 2 ℓ
