6th Grade Math Lesson 8: Problem 2

John and Jill eagerly took part in a contest where the person who could drink the most amount of dinosaur snot soup would win an adorable baby Triceratops. In the first 10 minutes, John and Jill had rapidly drunk a total of 461 liters of foul smelling dinosaur snot soup. But poor Jill turned green in the face and fainted immediately after that. John continued drinking 19 more liters of dinosaur snot soup after Jill had fainted. In the end, Jill walked away with the first prize with tears in her eyes because she had drunk 5 times as much dinosaur snot soup as John. How much dinosaur snot soup did John drink before Jill fainted? Write your answer in liters, for example 89 l.
