23. 22 Problem 10 Grandma put two equal cups – a cup of coffee and a cup of milk - on a table. Then she poured one tablespoon of milk in the cup of coffee and stirred it. After that she poured one tablespoon from the cup of coffee in the cup of milk. Which is now bigger – the volume of coffee in the cup of milk or the volume of milk in the cup of coffee?

24. 23 Answer Lets look at the cup that originally had only coffee. Suppose the volume of that cup is V, and the volume of milk in it is M. The remaining volume in this cup is V-M, and it is coffee. The rest of the coffee that was originally in that cup is now in the other cup. So the amount of coffee in the milk is V- (V- M) = M That means Grandma gets the same amounts of coffee in the milk and milk in the coffee.
