AlgebraEasyVolume of one glass from a jug
Algebra practice question
A jug holds 2 litres of juice. After 6 glasses of equal size are filled from the full jug, 0.5 litres of juice remain. What is the volume, in litres, of one glass?
Answer: 0.25 or 1/4
6g = 2 − 0.5 = 1.5, so g = 0.25.
Common wrong answers
- If you answered 0.5
- 0.5 is what remains, not the glass size.
- If you answered 1.5
- 1.5 is the total poured into the six glasses.
- If you answered 0.33
- 0.33 divides the full 2 litres by 6 without subtracting what remains.
