Question

A flask contained 4 times as much water as a jug at first. After 1.05L of water were poured from the flask into jug, both containers had the same amount of water.How many litres of water are there in the jug now?

Answer 1

Answer:

The water there in the jug now are 1,75 L.

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine:

Flask = F

Jug = J

F = 4J

F - 1,05 = J + 1,05

Substitution:

F - 1,05 = J + 1,05

4J - 1,05 = J + 1,05

4J - J = 1,05 + 1,05

3J = 2,10

J = 2,10/3

J = 0,70 L

F = 4J

F = 4 X 0,7

F = 2,80 L

Jug now:

0,70 L + 1,05 L = 1,75 L
