(doesn’t have choices)

Jane drank 1 3/4 quarts of water.

Jane drank more water than Tom

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom drank  = 1 1/4 quarts of water

Jane drank = 1.75 quarts of water

We have to write the amount of water Jane drank in fraction.

There are some steps to convert decimal into fraction.

Step 1:

Value is 1.75:

Put the 1 aside and just work on 0.75

Write down the decimal value divided by 1

Like, 0.75/1

Step 2:

Now multiply both the numerator and denominator by 100.

We will multiply the numerator and denominator by 100 because 1.75 has two values after the decimal.

0.75 *100/1*100

75/100

Step 3:

Simplify the fraction.

divide the fraction by 5.

=15/20

=3/4

Now bring back the 1: and the fraction will become.

1 3/4

Jane drank 1 3/4 quarts of water.

Now who drank more water?

Jane drank more water than Tom

Reason:

Tom drank 1 1/4 = 5/4

Jane drank  1 3/4 = 7/4

Both the fractions have same denominator, so the value with the greater numerator drank more water than the other.

Therefore Jane drank more water than Tom
