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
- If you answered 150
- 150 divides 450 by 3.
- If you answered 400
- 400 divides 1,200 by 3, ignoring what remained.
- If you answered 750
- 750 is the total poured, not one glass.
