Answer: 13/20

Explanation:

This question is based around conversions; you should know how to convert between percentages and fractions.

The question says that Lakisha drank 35% of the water contents. This means that she did not drink 65% (100% - 35% = 65%)

Now here is where the conversion comes in.

65% as a fraction is 65/100.

However, this isn't an option, so you have to simplify the fraction by dividing by 5.

65 / 5 = 13

100 / 5 = 20

Therefore, the answer is 13/20

Hope this helps :)
