Question

Pauline mixed 0.32 liter of syrup with 12 times as much water to make orange squash.She split 1.28 liter of orange squash.Then she poured the remaining orange squash equally into 4 bottles.How much orange squash were there in each bottle.Give your answer in Liters.​

Answer 1

0.72 litres

Explanation:

Litres of syrup = 0.32 litres

Litres of water = 12 times the amount of syrup = 12 * 0.32 = 3.84 litres

Litres of orange squash = litres of syrup + litres of water

Litres of orange squash = (0.32 + 3.84) = 4.16 litres

Amount of orange squash litres split = 1.28 litres

Amount of orange squash left = (4.16 - 1.28) = 2.88 litres

Splitting the amount of squash left equally into 4 :

2.88 litres / 4 = 0.72 litres
