5. A pail holds 5.2 liters of water. A bottle holds 3.9 liters less water than
the pail. What is the volume of water in the bottle?​


Sagot :

Answer:

1.9 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

sol'n

Let Pail be P and B as B

P=5.2

B=-3.9(as if na less than)

keyword is less(water)than

so come up with the operation using subtraction

P-B=Volume of Bottle

so...

5.2-3.9=1.3 liters

The volume of the bottle is equal to 1.3 liters
