Answers
Vidya drunk 2 litres of water.
Pratap drunk 3/5th part of the total water.
• Given data :
The total amount of water is 5 litres.
Vidya used 2/5th part of the total water.
Pratap drunk remaining amount of water.
• At first, we have to calculate the amount of water that vidya had drunk by using the following mathematical formula :
= Total amount of water × 2/5
= 5 × 2/5
= 2 litres
• Now, we have to calculate the amount of water used by Pratap by using the following mathematical formula
= Total amount of water - Water used by Vidya
= 5 - 2
= 3 litres
• Now,to calculate the water usage by Pratap we have to use the following mathematical formula :
= Water used by Pratap / Total amount of water
= 3/5 (answer) [ The units are omitted because this is a fraction]
