Question

Rose and her twin brother decided to carry their juice in the lunch bags. Rose choose the tin juice that holds 472ml. Her brother took the bottled juice that contains 1/2 litre. Which of the two had more juice and by how much?

Answer 1

Rose's brother has more juice than Rose by 28ml, since her juice tin holds 472ml and her brother's bottle contains 500ml (1/2 litre).

Step-by-step explanation:

Rose chose the tin juice that holds 472ml, and her twin brother took the bottled juice that contains ½ litre (½ liter is equivalent to 500ml because 1 litre is equivalent to 1000ml).

Comparing the capacities directly, Rose’s tin juice has 472ml and her brother’s bottled juice contains 500ml. Therefore, her brother has more juice.

To find out by how much more, you would subtract the smaller amount from the larger amount: 500ml - 472ml = 28ml. So, Rose's brother has 28ml more juice than Rose.

Answer 2

Her brother had more juice by 28 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the 1/2 liter bottle to mL.

In 1 liter, there are 1000 mL. So, in 1/2 liters, there are 500 mL.

Since Rose's tin juice only holds 472 mL, her brother had more juice.

Find how much more he had by finding the difference:

500 - 472

= 28

So, her brother had more juice by 28 mL
