Question

Ethan sold 2 3 gallon of lemonade. Kayla sold some lemonade too. Together, they sold 1 1 4 gallons. Who sold more lemonade, Ethan or Kayla? How much more? Label the total amount of lemonade Ethan and Kayla sold

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Ethan sold 2/3 gallon of lemonade.

Kayla sold some lemonade too.

Together they sold 1 1/4 gallons.

Subtract 2/3 from 1 1/4 as follows :

$S=1\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{4}-\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{7}{12}$

So, Kayla sold 7/12 gallons of lemonade.

As 2/3 is more than 7/12, it means Ethan sold more lemonade.

$\dfrac{2}{3}-\dfrac{7}{12}=\dfrac{1}{12}$

It means Eathn sold 1/12 more lemonade.
