Ellen has two young children so trying to drink a warm cup of tea can prove quite a challenge!
Ellen has made her first cup of tea of the day and managed to drink 5/7 of it.
There is 44ml of tea left in the cup.
How much tea was in the cup before Ellen drank any?
Answer:
Since 5/7 are gone there are 2/7 of the whole left
Therefore, 2/7 of the whole is 44ml
1/7 is therefore 22ml
The total amount of tea is 22 x 7 = 154ml
