These problems are different.
They use the same math you already know — but wrapped in ways you haven't seen before. There's no rush. Think slowly. Write your reasoning. The answer matters less than HOW you got there.

Three glasses contain different amounts of juice: 220 ml, 150 ml, and 80 ml. You want to make all three glasses have the same amount of juice. You can only pour juice from one glass into another until the glass you're pouring *into* is full, or the glass you're pouring *from* is empty. What is the final amount of juice in each glass if you do this in the fewest possible moves?
Think about what constraints the problem gives you. Write down what you KNOW for sure, then work from there. Often, trying small numbers first reveals a pattern.
