Question

The boys had 5 4 6 gallons of water to share throughout the day. James drank 1 1 3 5 6 1 2 gallons and Simon drank 2 3 gallon. How much water did the boys have left at the end of the day?

Answer 1

Answer:

$1\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Volume of Water = $5\frac{4}{6}$

Volume drunk by James =$1\frac{1}{3}$

Volume drunk by Simon =$\frac{2}{3}$

Volume drunk by Matthew = $1\frac{1}{2}$

Volume drunk by Gilbert =$\frac{5}{6}$

Total Volume Drunk (i.e. The Sum) = $1\frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} + 1\frac{1}{2} +\frac{5}{6}=\frac{13}{3}$

Volume of water Left = Total Volume of Water-Total Volume Drunk

= $5\frac{4}{6}-\frac{13}{3} =\frac{4}{3}=1\frac{1}{3}$
