Question

Joy drank 2 3 liter of water Monday before going jogging. She drank 5 7 liter of water after her jog. How much water did Joy drink altogether? Write your answer as a mixed number.

Answer 1

Answer: 1 ⁸/₂₁ litres

Explanation:

First find a common multiple to enable you add them up:

= 21

21 will be the denominator.

Multiply each numerator by the number you get when you divide 21 by the denominator.

= 21/3 = 7

= 7 * 2 = 14

= 21/7 = 3

= 3 * 5

= 15

`= (14 + 15)/(21) \\\\= (29)/(21)`

`= 1(8)/(21)` litres
