For her brother's soccer game, Lyra prepared 7.5 liters of water in a cooler. After the
game, Lyra noticed a row of flowers by the concession stand that needed some
water. She needed at least 2 liters to water them sufficiently.
The soccer team drank 5 liters of water during the game. Does Lyra have enough
water for the flowers? See how Lyra and her brother Manny solved the problem.
Who is correct? Explain your reasoning.

yes lyra would because 7.5 - 5 (the amount the team drank) = 2.5, leaving .5 liters of water leftover after watering the flowers
