Answer:
6 liters.
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have a glass, a jar, and a pitcher and together, they hold 54 liters.
We are told that the jar has the same volume as 3 glasses and the pitcher has the same volume as 5 glasses. In other words, let g denote glasses, j denote jars, and p denote pitchers:
[tex]g+j+p=54[/tex]
Since jar is the same as 3 glasses, this means that j=3g. And since the pitcher is the same as 5 glasses, this means that p=5g. Substitute:
[tex]g+(3g)+(5g)=54[/tex]
Combine like terms:
[tex]9g=54[/tex]
Divide both sides by 9. The left cancels:
[tex](9g)/9=54/9\\g=6[/tex]
Therefore, the volume of the glass is 6 liters.
Answer:
[tex]\Large \boxed{\sf 6 \ liters}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the volume of the glass be x.
Let the volume of the jar be y.
Let the volume of the pitcher be z.
[tex]\sf y = 3x \\\\z = 5x[/tex]
[tex]\sf x + y + z = 54[/tex]
Substitution method.
[tex]\sf x+3x+5x=54[/tex]
Combining like terms.
[tex]\sf 9x = 54[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 9.
[tex]\sf x = 6[/tex]
The volume of the glass is 6 liters.
