Question

Hayley goes to school with a liter bottle of water she drink 1/4 of the bottle before school starts and 2/3 before the R Us for lunch but what fraction of the bottle does Halle drink after school starts but before lunch

Answer 1

We have:

- After she drinks 1/4 L and

`1-(1)/(4)=(3)/(4)`

so, she has 3/4 L remaining.

- If she then drinks 2/3 of this, will remain in the bottle:

`(2)/(3)*(3)/(4)=(6)/(12)=(1)/(2)`

Answer: 1/2 of the bottle
