ii)⅗ is the fraction

Answer 2

SOLUTION

(i) total quality of water in a bottle = 5 litres

water consumed by vidya = 2/5 of total water

$= \frac{2}{5} \times 5$

$= 2$

So, vidya consumed 2 litres of water.

(ii) Water consumed by pratap = 1 - 2/5

$\frac{3}{5}$

So, 3/5 of the total water was consumed by pratap.
