So lets solve this!
Quarts of water 1st container holds= 17/8
Quarts of water 2nd container holds= 5 3/4
Quarts of water does the second container holds than the first container=?
First of all we need to change 5 3/4 into an improper fraction
5 3/4= 23/4
Secondly, we need to find the LCM of 17/8 and 23/4
LCM:
17/8= 51/24
23/4= 138/24
So now we have got both of the LCM's
Quarts of second container holds the first container= 23/4 - 138/24=87/24
Your answer is 87/24
