    Answer: 6/625 gallons of water wa splashed out of the pool

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Total number of gallons of water in the pool was 10 1/2. Converting to improper fraction, it becomes

    21/2 gallons.

    Jake and his friend splashed g gallons of water out of the pool. There are 7 7/8 gallons still left in the pool. Converting 7 7/8 to improper fraction, it becomes

    63/8 gallons

    This means that

    g + 63/8 = 21/2

    g = 21/2 - 63/8 = (84 - 63) / 8

    g = 21/8 = 2.625 gallons
