Question

When a jug is half-filled with marbles, it weighs 2.6 kg. If the jug weighs 4 kg when full, find the weight of the empty jug.

Answer 1

Let x be the jug, $\frac{1}{2}$ for half-filled, y for the weight of the jug when empty.

∵ $\frac{1}{2}$x + y = 2.6 kg

∵ x = 4 kg

∴ $\frac{1}{2}$ ⋅ 4 + y = 2.6 kg

∴ 2 + y =2.6 kg

∵ y = 2.6 - 2 = 0.6 kg

∴ The weight of the empty jug = 0.6 kg
