If Vikram drinks 6/10 of a litter of water after gym class . Vikram is not correct based on the fact that the sum of the amounts of water and juice he drank is not equal to 39 hundredths of a liter.

What is the correct amount?

Total amount of water and juice Vikram drank:

Water:

= 6/10 * 1 liter

= 0.6 liters

Juice:

33/100 * 1 liter

= 0.33 liters

Add the amounts together:

0.6 liters + 0.33 liters

= 0.93 liters

Therefore Vikram drank 0.6 liters of water, Vikram drank 0.33 liters of juice. So the total amount Vikram drank is 0.93 liters not 0.39 liters as he claimed.
