Question

Mrs hong had some milk she used 1/6 bake a waffles and 300ml to bake a pie after baking the waffles and the pie she had 1/2 of the milk left how much milk did she have at first?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: Let Mrs Hong have x litres of milk.

Then, milk used for waffles=1x/6

Milk left=5x/6

Milk used for baking pie=300 ml

Milk left = 5x/6-300

Now, 5x/6-300=1x/2

=> 5x/6-1x/2=300

=>2x/6=300

=>x=300*6/2

=>900

Hence, Mrs Hong had 900 ml milk at first.
