Last Minute Summer Work

Question

Alana drink 3 Liters of water yesterday Jada drank 3/4 times as much water as Elena. Lin drank twice as much water as Jada.

Did Jada drink more or less water than Elena? Explain how you know

Did Lin drink more or less water than Elena? Explain how you know.

Answer 1

Hi Leonela C.,

Elena = 3 Liters

Jada = 3/4 * Elena = 3/4 * 3 Liters = 9/4 Liters = 2-1/4 Liters

Lin = 2 * Jada = 2 * 9/4 Liters = 9/2 Liters = 4-1/2 Liters

Jada drank less water than Elena

Lin drank more water than Elena

I hope this helps, Joe.
