The document summarizes how to solve a math problem involving distributing 55.4 liters of drink between 0.4 liter and 0.2 liter glasses with a total of 180 glasses. Two equations were written: one setting the total number of glasses equal to 180, and another equating the total liters of drink to the sum of liters from each glass type. The second equation was multiplied by 5 and then the number of 0.2 liter glasses was replaced with the total glasses minus the 0.4 liter glasses. This allowed solving for the number of each glass type, with the solution being 97 0.4 liter glasses and 83 0.2 liter glasses.

Let a be the number of 0,4 l glasses and b the number of 0,2 l glasses Then, we wrote the equations: a+b=180; 0,4a+0,2b=55,4l By multiplying the second one by 5, we get: 2a+b=277
Here is how we worked
Here is how we worked
As b = 180 a, we replaced it in the second equation and got: 2a + 180 - a = 277 a = 277 180 a = 97 b = 180 97 b = 83
