Question

A coach gives down and Anya a jug containing one and 5/8 gallons of water they will pour the water into three bottles Dan says he can pour 5/8 of a gallon into the first bottle one eighth of a gallon into the second bottle and 7/8 of a gallon into the third bottle Anja says she can pour 6/8 of a gallon into the first bottle 2/8 of a gallon into the second bottle and 5/8 of a gallon into the third bottle who is correct use the drop-down menus to explain

Answer 1

Dan and Anja are both correct.

Explanation:

Base on the given;

Total:
`1 (5)/(8)`

Dan:

1st Bottle:
`(5)/(8)`

2nd Bottle:
`(1)/(8)`

3rd Bottle:
`(7)/(8)`

Anja:

1st Bottle:
`(6)/(8)`

2nd Bottle:
`(2)/(8)`

3rd Bottle:
`(5)/(8)`

Since we know all the info now. Let's first add up all the bottles.

Dan:

`(5)/(8)+(1)/(8)+(7)/(8)=[?]` ⇒ Only add the numerator.

`(5)/(8)+(1)/(8)+(7)/(8)=(13)/(8)` ⇒ Simplify

`(13)/(8)=1(5)/(8)`

Anja:

`(6)/(8)+(2)/(8)+(5)/(8)=[?]` ⇒ Only add the numerator.

`(6)/(8)+(2)/(8)+(5)/(8)=(13)/(8)`⇒ Simplify

`(13)/(8)=1(5)/(8)`

Base on the given;

Total =
`1(5)/(8)`

From what we solve:

Dan and Anja are both correct.

Since the drop-down menus wasn't given. I can not farther given more info. Please have a link to the image if help is needed.
