Question

Josh and Bradley each bought a carton of milk. Their cartons were the same except that Bradley's carton was taller than Josh's. Each boy drank 1/4 of his milk carton. Did the each drink the same amount of milk? Explain.

Answer 1

No

Because Bradley's carton is taller than Josh's, Bradley would drink more milk.

Let us assume that Bradley carton has 100 quarts . If he drank 1/4, he would drink 25 quarts of milk. If Josh carton is 80 quarts full of milk, he would drink 20 quarts of milk. this example shows that they would not drink the same amount of milk

Explanation:

A taller carton would contain more ounces of milk.
