Kimberly purchased a bottle of kiwi syrup to make drinks. She used ³₅ of the syrup in April. She then used the remaining syrup in May and June in the ratio 1 : 2. Given that the amount of the kiwi syrup used in April was 1.12 ℓ more than that in May, how many millilitres of kiwi syrup did the bottle contain at first?

April	May	June	Total
3x3	2x3		5x3
	1x2	2x2
9 u	2 u	4 u	15 u

Total volume of May and June is combined repeated identity.  Make the total volume of May and June the same.  LCM of 2 and 3 is 6.

Volume of more kiwi syrup in the bottle used in April than May
= 9 u - 2 u
= 7 u

7 u = 1.12 

1 u = 1.12 ÷ 7 = 0.16

Amount of kiwi syrup in the bottle at first
= 15 u
= 15 x 0.16
= 2.4 ℓ

1 ℓ = 1000 mℓ

Amount of kiwi syrup in the bottle at first
= 2.4 x 1000
= 2400 mℓ

Answer(s): 2400 mℓ
