Question

For a school picnic, students are participating in a relay race. Each team has to fill a container that holds 200 liters of water, using bottles that hold 5 liters or 10 liters into the container. So far the blue team has poured ten 5-liter bottles and three 10-liter bottles into the container. How many more 10- liter bottles will the blue team need to fill the container

Answer 1

Since the blue team already poured ten 5 liters bottles so 10 x 5 = 50
And three 10 liters bottles so 3 x 10 = 30
Now you would add that up , 30 + 50 = 80
Then you subtract it from 200
200 - 80 =120
The last step is to divide by ten since it’s asking how many 10 liters bottles is need to fill the rest
120 divided by 10 =12
The blue team will need twelve 10 liters bottles to fill the container
