Question

Ethan sold 2/3 gallon of lemonade. Kayla sold some too. Together they sold 1 1/4 gallons. Who sold more lemonade, Ethan or Kayla? How much more?

Answer 1

7/12

Explanation:

1 1/4-2/3=?

1= 1 1/4=1/4

1-2/3+1/4

1/3+1/4

4/12+3/12=7/12

Kayla sold 7/12 gallon of lemonade.

Answer 2

Answer: Ethan sold more lemonade than Kayla by
`(1)/(12)\ gallon`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Quantity of lemonade sold by Ethan is given by

`(2)/(3)\ gallon`

Quantity of lemonade sold by Ethan and Kayla together is given by

`1(1)/(4)\ gallon=(5)/(4)`

Quantity of lemonade sold by Kayla only is given by

`(5)/(4)-(2)/(3)\\\\=(15-8)/(12)\\\\=(7)/(12)\ gallon`

To get who sold more lemonade we will first make the denominator same ,

Denominator of 3 and 12 = 12

So,

`(2* 4)/(3* 4)=(8)/(12)\ gallon`

Compare Ethan and Kayla ,

We know that

`(8)/(12)>(7)/(12)`

So, Ethan sold more lemonade than Kayla .

By

`(8)/(12)-(7)/(12)=(1)/(12)\ gallon`

Hence, Ethan sold more lemonade than Kayla by
`(1)/(12)\ gallon`
