Answer 2

Answer: Marry drank less than half of her glass of juice.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Larry, Mary and Terry each had a full glass of juice.Larry drank
`(3)/(4)` of his. Mary drank
`(3)/(8)` of hers and Terry drank
`(7)/(10)` of his.

We are to find who drank less than
`(1)/(2)` of their juice.

We have

Portion of the glass of juice that Larry drank

`=(3)/(4)>(2)/(4)\left(=(1)/(2)\right).`

Portion of the glass of juice that Mary drank

`=(3)/(8)<(4)/(8)\left(=(1)/(2)\right).`

Portion of the glass of juice that Terry drank

`=(7)/(10)>(5)/(10)\left(=(1)/(2)\right).`

Therefore, Marry drank less than half of her glass of juice.
