Question

Monica measures 91 milliliters of water into 9 tiny beakers. she measures an equal amount of water into the first 8 beakers. she pours the remaining water into the ninth beaker.It measures 19 milliliters. how many milliliters of water are in each of the first eight beakers

Answer 1

To determine the amount of water in the first 8 beakers, you will subtract the 19 ml that are in the 9th beaker from the total to see how much water was actually put into the first 8 beakers.

91 ml - 19 ml = 72 ml.

The 72 ml are divided evenly between 8 beakers.

72/8 = 9 ml

There would be 9 ml of water in each of the first 8 beakers.
