Question

My friend has 7/3 litres of lemonade. I have 5/2 times more than he has, and I drink half of mine. How many litres do I drink.

Answer 1

Hey friend,

Your friend has lemonade:- 7/3
You have :- (7/3+5/2)
= 29/6

Now you drink half of yours= 29/6 ÷ 2
= 29/6 × 1/2
= 29/12

As 29, is a prime number it can't be further reduced so 29/12 litres of lemonade is left with you.

Hope it helps,
Suhani

Answer 2

Hi,
hope I solve your doubt
Your friend has 7/3

You have 5/2 more than him =7/3 + 5/2
=14/6 + 15/6(LCM)
=29/6

You drink 1/2 so you have = 29/6×1/2(half of what you have)
= 29/12. {answer}

Hope this solves your doubt.
