Answer 1

Jada drank 2.25 liters of water and Lin drank 4.5 liters of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much water Jada drank, we need to calculate 3/4 of the amount Elena drank. We can do this by multiplying 3/4 by 3 liters.

Jada drank: 3/4 * 3 liters = 9/4 liters = 2.25 liters.

To find out how much water Lin drank, we need to calculate twice the amount Jada drank. We can do this by multiplying 2 by 2.25 liters.

Lin drank: 2 * 2.25 liters = 4.5 liters.

Answer 2

Elena: 3 Liters

Jada: 3 x 3/4 = 2.25 Liters

Lin: 2 x 2.25 = 4.5 Liters
