Question

Of the fluids that you drink on a typical day, 1/10 is milk and 50% water. How many times more water do you drink than milk?

Answer 1

1/10 is 10% so you drink 40% more water than milk in a day. I think.

Answer 2

Answer: 40%

Explanation:

Of the fluids that one drink on a typical day, 1/10 is milk and 50% water. To know how many times more water the person drinks than milk goes thus:

We convert the fluids to percentage

Milk = 1/10

= 1/10 × 100

= 10%

Water = 50%

Then, we subtract the percentage of milk from water.

= 50% - 10%

= 40%
