Keisha drank the average amount of water 1 of the days.
if he drinks 1 quart, his average is 21/13.
Lets find out...
our fraction is 1/2.....
when the numerator is increased by 20%......1 + 0.20(1) = 1.2
when the denominator is increased by 50%....2 + 0.50(2) = 3
1/2 = 0.5....original fraction
1.2 / 3 = 0.4.....increased fraction
decrease = (original number - new number) / original number...* 100
= (0.5 - 0.4) / 0.5...* 100
= (0.1 / 0.5)....* 100
= 0.2 * 100
= 20% decrease <====
