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 because carter only drank 3/5 which adds up to 6/10 and john 5/11 which is less than 7/11

hope this helps!!!

Answer 2

Gary

Explanation:

On this question, the point here is a comparison to fractions. Then, it is very useful to turn into decimal to better check.

Johnny drank:

`(5)/(11)=0.45` quart

Gary drank 7/10

`(7)/(10)=0.7 quart`

Carter drank 3/5=

`(3)/(5) =0.6 q`

Gary was the man who drank more, 0.7 of a quart of a gallon. Almost 1 quart.
