Question

On a hot summer day, John drank 5⁄11 of a quart of iced tea; Gary drank 7⁄10 of a quart; and Carter drank 3⁄5 of a quart. Which man was the most thirsty?

Answer 1

Gary was the most thirsty

Answer 2

Gary was more thirsty.

Explanation:

Given that On a hot summer day, John drank 5⁄11 of a quart of iced tea; Gary drank 7⁄10 of a quart; and Carter drank 3⁄5 of a quart.

We have to tell which man was the most thirsty.

The man which drank more iced tea was most thirsty

John drank=
`(5)/(11) of quart`=0.4545 of quart

Gary drank =
`(7)/(10) of quart`=0.7 of quart

Carter drank =
`(3)/(5) of quart`=0.6 of quart

From above 3 we say that Gary drank more water than other 2. Therefore, Gary was more thirsty.
