Answer: Ethan sold more than kayla by
(1)/(12) gallons

Since we have given that

Quantity of lemonade sold by Ethan is given by


(2)/(3) gallons

Quantity of lemonade sold by Ethan and Kayla together is given by

1 1/4 gallon = 5/4

Quantity of lemonade sold by Kayla only is given by


(5)/(4) -
(2)/(3)

=
(5-8)/(12)

=
(7)/(12)

To get who sold more lemonade we will first make the denominator same,

Denominator of 3 and 12 = 12

So,


(2 x 4)/( 3 x 4) = (8)/(12)

Compare Ethan and Kayla ,

We know that


(8)/(12) \geq (7)/(12)

So, Ethan sold more lemonade than Kayla .

By


(8)/(12) -
(7)/(12) =
(1)/(12)

Hope this helps : )
