Answer:
Lin drank more water
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Elena = 3 litres
Jada = ¾ of Elena
Lin = 2 times of Jada
Required
Determine if Lin drank more or less water than Elena
First, we have to get the actual amount of water Jada drank.
Jada = ¾ of Elena
Substitute 3 litres of Elena
[tex]Jada = \¾ * 3 litres[/tex]
[tex]Jada = 9/4 litres[/tex]
[tex]Jada = 2\¼\ litres[/tex]
Lin = 2 * Jada
Substitute 2¼ litres for Jada
[tex]Lin = 2 * 2\¼\ litres[/tex]
[tex]Lin = 2 * 9/4 litres[/tex]
[tex]Lin = 9/2 litres[/tex]
[tex]Lin = 4\frac{1}{2} litres[/tex]
Recall that Elena drank 3 litres
Comparing 3 Litres to [tex]4\frac{1}{2}[/tex] litres, we can conclude that Lin drank more water.
