Final answer:
Jake drinks twice the amount Sara drinks, which is 3/8 liters. Multiplying by 2, Jake drinks 6/8 liters, which simplifies to 3/4 liters or 0.75 liters. Therefore, Jake drinks 3/4 liters of orange juice.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question involves determining the amount of orange juice Jake drinks after Sara drinks a portion of it. Sara has an initial amount of 1 9/12 liters of orange juice, from which she drinks 3/8 liters. Jake drinks twice the amount Sara drinks. To find out how much Jake drinks, we first need to multiply the amount Sara drinks by 2.
3/8 liters × 2 = 6/8 liters
Since 6/8 is equivalent to 3/4, and 3/4 liters is also the same as 0.75 liters or 3/4 liters, the correct answer is that Jake drinks 3/4 liters of orange juice. Note that 6/8 liters can be simplified to 3/4 liters, which corresponds to option a).
Therefore, the correct statement about the amount Jake drinks is a) Jake drinks 3/4 liters.
