Answer:
Jane drank 1 3/4 quarts of water.
Jane drank more water than Tom
Step-by-step explanation:
Tom drank = 1 1/4 quarts of water
Jane drank = 1.75 quarts of water
We have to write the amount of water Jane drank in fraction.
There are some steps to convert decimal into fraction.
Step 1:
Value is 1.75:
Put the 1 aside and just work on 0.75
Write down the decimal value divided by 1
Like, 0.75/1
Step 2:
Now multiply both the numerator and denominator by 100.
We will multiply the numerator and denominator by 100 because 1.75 has two values after the decimal.
0.75 *100/1*100
75/100
Step 3:
Simplify the fraction.
divide the fraction by 5.
=15/20
=3/4
Now bring back the 1: and the fraction will become.
1 3/4
Jane drank 1 3/4 quarts of water.
Now who drank more water?
<u>Jane drank more water than Tom</u>
<u>Reason:</u>
Tom drank 1 1/4 = 5/4
Jane drank 1 3/4 = 7/4
Both the fractions have same denominator, so the value with the greater numerator drank more water than the other.
Therefore Jane drank more water than Tom....
