Question

Chan drank 1/3 of a bottle of water in the morning, 3/4 of a bottle in the afternoon, and 3/10 of a bottle in the evening. How many bottles of water did he drink?

Answer 1

To find out how many bottles of water Chan drank in total, we need to add up the three amounts he drank throughout the day.

1/3 + 3/4 + 3/10

First, we need to find a common denominator for these fractions. The least common multiple of 3, 4, and 10 is 60.

1/3 = 20/60

3/4 = 45/60

3/10 = 18/60

Now we can add these fractions:

20/60 + 45/60 + 18/60 = 83/60

Now we need to simplify this fraction:

83/60 = 1 23/60

So, Chan drank a total of 1 23/60 bottles of water throughout the day.
