Answer 1

Answer:

Mrs. Hong originally had 900 ml of milk

Explanation:

The complete question is in the attached image

Assume that the amount of milk Mrs. Hong originally had was x ml

We are given that:

1- She used $\frac{1}{6}$ of it to bake the waffles, therefore:

   Amount used in baking waffles = $\frac{1}{6}x$ ml

2- She used 300 ml to bake a pie

3- Amount left is half the original amount, therefore:

   Amount left = $\frac{1}{2}x$ ml

We know that:

Total amount = amount used in waffles + amount used in pie + amount left

Substitute with the givens and solve for x:

Total amount = amount used in waffles + amount used in pie + amount left

$x = \frac{1}{6}x + 300 + \frac{1}{2}x\\ \\x-\frac{1}{6}x-\frac{1}{2}x = 300\\ \\\frac{1}{3}x = 300\\ \\x = 300*3 = 900 ml$

This means that:

She originally had 900 ml of milk

Hope this helps :)
