Ms. Nguyen brought a lot of water for her students to drink. Natalia drank 1⅓ bottles, Sophia drank ⅔ of a bottle, and Emily drank 1⅔ bottles of water. Emanuel said that he drank 3 bottles of water. Who drank more water: Emanuel or the three girls combined?

Answer:

How much water Mrs. Nguyen's students drank.

The girls drank: 1 1/3 + 2/3 +1 2/3 = 3 2/3.

Emanuel drank: 3.

3 2/3 > 3.

The girls combined drank more water by 2/3.
