Question

1. Four small pitchers and one large pitcher can hold 10 cups of water. One large

pitcher minus one small pitcher equals 4 cups of water. How many cups of water
can each pitcher hold?​

Answer 1

L = 5.2

S = 1.2

Explanation:

L + 4S = 10

L + - S = 4

L - L + 4S - - S = 5S = 6

6/5 = S = 1.2

10 - 4(1.2) = 10 - 4.8 = 5.2

L = 5.2
