5 cups = 3 mugs.
1 mug can hold 130 ml more than 1 cup.
You can draw the model and then split them into 15 units each, so that 5 cups = 15 units and 3 mugs = 15 units (both are 15 units because they are poured from the same pot).
You will realise that 1 cup = 3 units and 1 mug = 5 units. The difference between 1 mug and 1 cup is 2 units, which is 130 ml of coffee.
2 units —> 130 ml
1 unit —> 65 ml
15 units —> 975 ml
So the pot can hold 975 ml of coffee.
1 mug can hold 130 ml more than 1 cup.

2 units —> 130 ml
1 unit —> 65 ml
15 units —> 975 ml
So the pot can hold 975 ml of coffee.

Let the amount of coffee that a cup can hold be X ml.
So the amount of coffee a mug can hold is (X + 130) ml.
We know that 5X = 3(X + 130).
5X = 3X + 390
2X = 390
X = 195
Therefore, the amount of coffee a pot can hold is 5 * 195 = 975ml.
So the amount of coffee a mug can hold is (X + 130) ml.
We know that 5X = 3(X + 130).
5X = 3X + 390
2X = 390
X = 195
Therefore, the amount of coffee a pot can hold is 5 * 195 = 975ml.

For both scenarios (pouring into mugs or cups), the total volume of coffee is the same.
So from the model, 1 unit is the volume of a cup and (1 unit + 130) is the volume of a mug.
So from the model, 1 unit is the volume of a cup and (1 unit + 130) is the volume of a mug.
