Question

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

Answer 1

Given :

Total quantity of water = 5 litres

Vidya consumed = 2/5 of the water.

Finding the quantity of the water consumed by Pratap -

$1 - \dfrac{2}{5}$

$\dfrac{5 - 2}{5}$

$\dfrac{3}{5}$

Hence :

Pratap consumed = 3/5 of the water.

Pratap drink 3/5 of the fraction of the total quantity of water.

Answer 2

Total amount of water = 5 litres

Vidya consumed 2/5 of the water

⇒ 2/5 x 5 = 2 litres

Find the amount of water Pratap consumed:

⇒ 5 - 2 = 3 litres

Find the fraction of water Pratap consumed:

⇒ 3/5

Answer: Pratap consumed 3/5 of the water
