Question

Riley drank 8/10 quart of iced tea and her friend drank 0.3 quart. How much more of a quart of iced tea did Riley drink than her friend?

Answer 1

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

0.3 can be converted into 3/10. TO find out how much more of a quart of iced tea that Riley drank than her friend, we have to subtract the amount of iced tea that her friend drank from the amount that Riley drank.

8/10 - 3/10 = 5/10

Now, we have the opportunity to simplify the fraction. 5/10 is the same as 1/2. Therefore, Riley drank 5/10, or 1/2, more than her friend. I hope this helps! Have a lovely day!! :)

Answer 2

Riley drank 1/2 more of a quart of iced tea than her friend.




Step-by-step explanation:

0.3 as a fraction is 3/10. So Riley’s friend drank 3/10 of a quart of iced tea.

Riley drank 8/10’s of a quart so let’s set up an equation.


8/10 - 3/10


Solve.


= 5/10, which can be simplified to 1/2.



Hope this helps!
