Question

Josie drank 3 4 liter of water Monday before going jogging. She drank 3 5 liter of water after her jog. How much water did Josie drink altogether? Write your answer as a mixed number.

Answer 1

`Total\ water\ drank = 1(7)/(20)\ liters`

Explanation:

Amount of water drank before jogging = 3/4 liter

Amount of water drunk after jogging = 3/5

Total amount of water drunk = amount drank before jogging + amount drank after jogging

`Total\ water\ drunk\ = (3)/(4) + (3)/(5) = (15+ 12)/(20) = (27)/(20)\\converting\ to\ a\ mixed\ number\\ (27)/(20)= 1(7)/(20)\\\therefore Total\ water\ drank = 1(7)/(20)\ liters`
