let's assume ur ans: 4500mL is correct
& we work forward according to qn to check ans, k?
total is 4500 mL
give Josh: 2/9 x 4500 = 1000 mL
left: 3500mL
give Michelle: 800mL
left: 3500-800 = 2700mL
give Michael: 3/10 x 2700mL = 810mL
but this contradict ur own calculation of Michael getting 600mL
so do u agree that 4500mL is incorrect ans?
