To solve this word problem, we need to perform some basic calculations.
(a) To find the amount of milk in each cup, we divide the total amount of milk (4/9 of a jug) equally among the 4 cups.
Step 1: Convert the given fraction "4/9" into a decimal by dividing the numerator (4) by the denominator (9):
4 ÷ 9 = 0.4444 (rounded to four decimal places)
Step 2: Divide the decimal amount of milk by the number of cups:
0.4444 ÷ 4 = 0.1111 (rounded to four decimal places)
Therefore, each cup contains approximately 0.1111 liters of milk.
(b) To find the amount of milk in 3 cups, multiply the amount of milk in each cup by the number of cups:
0.1111 liters/cup * 3 cups = 0.3333 liters.
Therefore, 3 cups contain approximately 0.3333 liters of milk.
