Final answer:

Jada drank 2.25 liters of water and Lin drank 4.5 liters of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much water Jada drank, we need to calculate 3/4 of the amount Elena drank. We can do this by multiplying 3/4 by 3 liters.

Jada drank: 3/4 * 3 liters = 9/4 liters = 2.25 liters.

To find out how much water Lin drank, we need to calculate twice the amount Jada drank. We can do this by multiplying 2 by 2.25 liters.

Lin drank: 2 * 2.25 liters = 4.5 liters.
