Algebra practice question

A jug held 1,200 millilitres of juice. After three equal glasses were poured from it, 450 millilitres remained. How many millilitres were in each glass?

Answer: 250

1,200 − 3g = 450 gives 3g = 750, so g = 250.

Common wrong answers

150 divides 450 by 3.
If you answered 400
400 divides 1,200 by 3, ignoring what remained.
