SUMMARY

Xinyi prepared a mango drink using 2 bottles of mango syrup, each containing n litres, and 9 litres of water. The total volume of the mango drink is expressed as (2n + 9) litres, which is then equally divided into 20 glasses. Therefore, the volume of mango drink in each glass is (2n + 9)/20 litres. When n is specified as 2 litres, the total volume of the drink becomes 13 litres.

Xinyi used 2 bottles of mango syrup and 9 litres of water to make a mango drink. There were n litres of mango syrup in each bottle and she then pouredthe mango drink equally into 20 glasses.

a) What was the volume of mango drink in each glass? Give your answer in terms of n.

my answer: (2n+9)/20b) There were 2 L of mango syrup in each bottle. How much mango drink did Xinyi make in all?

my answer: Since n is litters. 2 * 2 + 9 = 13

I would say, rather, "since n is 2 liters, 2*2+ 9= 13 liters." The unit is important.
