Question

Alisa had 1/2 L of juice in a bottle. She drank 3/8 L of her juice. What

fraction of the juice in the bottle did Alisa drink?

Answer 1

3/16

Explanation:

By drinking 3/8 liters of 1/2 liter juice it means the question tests the ability to multiply fractions. Since she drank 3/8*1/2=3/16

We multiply the numerators and denominators separately ie 3*1/(8*2)=3/16

Therefore, Alisa consumed 3/16 or 0.1875 or 18.75% of the juice.

Since the question was in fractional form, it is prudent to also express answer in fractions hence the right answer is 3/16
