Solve This Problem And See If You Are Right!

Tune in next week to find

out the correct answer!

Last weeks problem of the week was:

Mary needed 400ml of vegetable broth

for a recipe she was following. However, the

only measuring containers she had were 300ml and 500ml.

How can she measure out exactly 400ml?

The solution is.....

She should fill the 500ml container first and use this

to fill the 300ml container, thereby leaving 200ml in the larger jug.

Then she could empty the 300ml container back into the stock jar and pour

the 200ml from the larger container into the 300ml container. If she once again

fills the larger container from the jar and again, fill the smaller container from this,

the smaller container needs 100ml to fill it, which will leave 400ml in the larger container.
