Firas conducted an experiment with a glass of grape juice and a glass of milk. Both glasses were the same size, and were filled with the same amount of liquid. Firas took a large spoonful of milk from the milk glass and dumped it into the grape juice glass. After stirring carefully, he then took a large spoonful of liquid from the grape juice glass (which now had a little of the milk) and put it into the glass of milk.
Enjoying himself, and without taking a sip from either glass, Firas repeated the procedure: he took a spoonful from the milk glass and put it into the grape juice glass; after stirring carefully, he then took a spoonful from the grape juice glass and put it into the milk glass.
After all this mixing, Firas wondered, "Do I now have more milk in the grape juice glass, or grape juice in the milk glass?"
So, I know the answer, there is more milk in the grape juice glass. My team members think they are the same. I just need some numbers! I don't know how to do the fractions.
I am imagining there are 100 spoonfuls of liquid in each glass. After the first spoonful is moved to the grape juice, we have 101 spoonfuls in the gj glass and 99 in the milk. (for the following, G=grape juice, M=milk)
in the G glass, we have 100G+1M. We have to subtract one spoonful from that, taking an even amount from each of the 101 spoonfuls in the glass. I am SO stuck on what I'm subtracting. I've tried drawing pictures and EVERYTHING! Please help me! This is worth a huge part of my grade and I have no group to help me anymore.
