Question

Linda’s container of cranberry juice holds 200 milliliter. Harry’s container holds 7/8 as much juice .how many milliliters of cranberry juice do the two containers hold?

Answer 1

Answer:

375 millilitres

Step-by-step explanation:

Linda’s container holds 200 milliliter.

Harry’s container holds $\frac{7}{8}$  as much juice as Linda.

Therefore, Harry's Container holds $\frac{7}{8} X 200=175 millilitres$ of juice.

We are to determine the total volume of juice that the two containers hold.

Total Volume = Volume of Linda's Container + Volume of Harry's Container

                     = 200 + 175 =375 millilitres

Answer 2

7/8 of 200 milliliters is 175 milliliters.

We add them together,

200+175 = 375 milliliters

and we have the answer.

Both containers together hold 375 milliliters.
