The document describes solving a system of equations to determine the number of 0.4 L and 0.2 L glasses of drink needed for a school canteen given the total number of glasses is 180 and total volume is 55.4 L. The equations set up are: a + b = 180 for the number of glasses, and 0.4a + 0.2b = 55.4 L for the total volume. Manipulating the equations yields a = 97 0.4 L glasses and b = 83 0.2 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 Here is how we worked Thank you! Good-bye!
