Let’s solve this step by step.
First, we need to know how many glasses each jug holds — that’s given at the top of the page.
- The
blue round jug (with a handle) = 5 glasses
- The
tall beige jug with red dots = 6 glasses
Now let’s go row by row and figure out how many glasses each new jug holds, based on whether it holds “more than” or “less than” another jug, and by how many glasses.
---
Row 1:
> Grey mug holds 2 more than blue round jug → blue round jug = 5
So grey mug = 5 + 2 =
7 glasses
But wait — actually, looking again:
The first row says:
“Grey mug holds 2 more than [blue round jug] = ? glasses”
We already know blue round jug = 5
So grey mug = 5 + 2 =
7
BUT — hold on! Actually, re-reading the layout:
Each row is structured like this:
[New Jug] holds [X] more/less than [Known Jug] = [Answer] glasses
And we are to find how many glasses the NEW jug holds.
Wait — no! Let me read carefully.
Actually, looking at the structure:
In Row 1:
> Grey mug holds 2 more than [blue round jug] = ___ glasses
That means:
Grey mug = blue round jug + 2
Blue round jug = 5
→ Grey mug = 5 + 2 =
7
But then why is there an equals sign and box after the blue jug? Wait — maybe I misread.
Looking again at the image description (since I can’t see it but from your text):
Actually, in the original problem, each row has:
[Jug A] holds X more/less than [Jug B] = [box] glasses
And we’re supposed to fill in how many glasses Jug A holds.
Yes — because the instruction says: “Work out how many glasses... each jug holds”
So for each row, we calculate the capacity of the LEFT jug, using the comparison to the RIGHT jug (which we already know).
Let’s list what we know from the top:
- Blue round jug (let’s call it Jug A) = 5 glasses
- Tall beige jug with red dots (Jug B) = 6 glasses
Now go row by row:
---
Row 1:
Grey mug holds 2 more than blue round jug (5)
→ Grey mug = 5 + 2 =
7 glasses
Row 2:
Teal jug holds 3 more than tall beige jug (6)
→ Teal jug = 6 + 3 =
9 glasses
Row 3:
Yellow jug holds 1 less than tall beige jug (6)
→ Yellow jug = 6 - 1 =
5 glasses
Row 4:
Light blue jug holds 2 less than blue round jug (5)
→ Light blue jug = 5 - 2 =
3 glasses
Row 5:
Green tall jug holds 2 more than blue round jug (5)
→ Green jug = 5 + 2 =
7 glasses
Wait — let me double-check each one.
Row 1: Grey mug vs blue round jug (5) → +2 → 7 ✔️
Row 2: Teal jug vs beige jug (6) → +3 → 9 ✔️
Row 3: Yellow jug vs beige jug (6) → -1 → 5 ✔️
Row 4: Light blue jug vs blue round jug (5) → -2 → 3 ✔️
Row 5: Green jug vs blue round jug (5) → +2 → 7 ✔️
All calculations check out.
Final Answer:
7
9
5
3
7
