Кувшин - 3x         на 12 больше
Чайник - x
3x - x = 12

x = 6 (Стаканов)

Answer 2

Problem Analysis

We are given that there is three times more water in the pitcher than in the teapot, and that there are 12 fewer cups of water in the teapot than in the pitcher. We need to determine the number of cups of water in the pitcher.

Solution

Let's assume the number of cups of water in the teapot is x. According to the given information, the number of cups of water in the pitcher is three times that of the teapot, so it is 3x. Additionally, it is stated that there are 12 fewer cups of water in the teapot than in the pitcher, which can be expressed as 3x - x = 12.

To solve this equation, we can simplify it as follows: 2x = 12.

Now, we can solve for x: x = 12 / 2 = 6.

Therefore, there are 6 cups of water in the teapot.

To find the number of cups of water in the pitcher, we can substitute the value of x into the equation 3x: 3 * 6 = 18.

Therefore, there are 18 cups of water in the pitcher.

Answer

There are 18 cups of water in the pitcher.

Explanation

According to the given information, there are three times more water in the pitcher than in the teapot. This means that the number of cups of water in the pitcher is three times the number of cups of water in the teapot. Additionally, it is stated that there are 12 fewer cups of water in the teapot than in the pitcher.

By solving the equation, we find that there are 6 cups of water in the teapot and 18 cups of water in the pitcher.
