Question

A bottle contains 750ml of mineral water. Rachel drinks 50% more than Ross, and these two friends finish the bottle between them. How much does Rachel drink???

Answer 1

Answer:

450ml

Explanation:

let Ross drink x amount of water

rachel drinks 50% more than Ross

so, x + x + x/2

5x/2 = 750

x = (750 * 2)/5

x = 150 * 2

x = 300

rachel drinks x + x/2 amount of water

that is 300 + 300/2

= 450ml of water
