Example 4 Pour Receive Left Contain

The volume of water in the jug is 2.3l. Chow pours it into 2 glasses. The volume of first glass is 940m l. What is the volume, in ml, of water in the second glass?

Understanding the problem

To find the volume of water in the second glass, in g The volume of water in the jug is 2.3l Volume of first glass is 940ml

Subtraction operation
Implementing the plan

Devising a plan

= 2.3 1000 or use conversation table = 2300ml = 2300ml - 940ml = 1360ml

Checking the solution

1360ml + 940ml = 2300ml
