Answer 1

Hello Mate!

Initialy water bottle contained = 5 litres

( i ) Vidya Consumed 2/5 of that water =

2/5 × 5 litre = 2 litre

( ii ) As 2/5 is consumed, let total water be 1

1 - 2/5 = ( 5 - 2 ) / 5 = 3/5

So fraction of 3/5 of total water was drinked by Pratap

Hope it helps☺!✌

Answer 2

$\huge\mathscr{\underline{Explanation:}}$

Given that:-

• Vidya and Pratap went for a picnic. Their mother gave them a water bottle that contained 5 litres of water.

• Vidya consumed 2/5 of the water.

• Pratap consumed the remaining water.

To find:-

• How much water did Vidya drink?

• What fraction of the total quantity of water did Pratap drink?

_____________________________

(i)= (2/5) × 5

= 2 liters

So, the total amount of water drank by Vidya is 2 liters

(ii) From the question, it is given that,

Amount of water in the water bottle = 5 liters

Then,

Amount of water consumed by Pratap = (1 – water consumed by Vidya)

= (1 – (2/5)

= (5-2)/5

= 3/5

∴ Total amount of water consumed by Pratap = 3/5 of 5 liters

= (3/5) × 5

= 3 liters

So, the total amount of water drank by Pratap is 3 liters
