Sherman · Answer 1

First, let's make it so that they share a common denominator.

3/4 x 2/2 = 6/8

So Lucie drank 6/8 of a pint, or 75% of it. 7/8 - 6/8 = 1/8. So there is 1/8 of water left, or 12.5%.

7/8

3/4

I'm order for them to have the same denominator you need to multiply so:

¾*2=6/8

So she drank 6/8 pints of water
