Answer 1

Answer:

$3\frac{1}{8}$ litres of Milk each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lucy the cow gives $5\frac{1}{2}$ litres of Milk each day.

Rosie the cow gives $8\frac{5}{8}$ litres of Milk each day.

Compared to Lucy, Rosie gives $(8\frac{5}{8} - 5\frac{1}{2})$ litres of Milk each day

= 8 - 5 + $\frac{5}{8}$ - $\frac{1}{2}$ = 3 + $\frac{(5 - 4)}{8}$ = $3\frac{1}{8}$ litres of Milk each day.
