Answer: See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Total water fetched = 24 pints.
Jill drank a tenth of this. This will be:
= 1/10 × 24
= 2.4 pints
Jack drank a quarter. This will be:
= 1/4 × 24 = 6.
They gave three eighths to dame Dob . Thus will be:
= 3/8 × 24
= 9
They gave a fifth to jill's mother. This will be:
= 1/5 × 24.
= 4.80
Amount that'll be left over will be:
= 24 - (2.40 + 6 + 9 + 4.80)
= 24 - 22.2
= 1.8
1.8 pints of water will be left over.
