Question

Lucie drank 3/4 of a pint of bottled water. One serving of the water is 7/8 of a pint. How much of a serving did she drink.

Answer 1

First, let's make it so that they share a common denominator.

3/4 x 2/2 = 6/8

So Lucie drank 6/8 of a pint, or 75% of it. 7/8 - 6/8 = 1/8. So there is 1/8 of water left, or 12.5%.

Answer 2

7/8
3/4
I'm order for them to have the same denominator you need to multiply so:
¾×2=6/8
So she drank 6/8 pints of water
