Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim drank 2 and 4/5 orange juice

2and 4/5=14/5 orange juice

jack drank  1and 1/10 less than Jim= 11/10 less than Jim

I introduce the whole numbers into the fractions

we will convert the number 14/5 into a fraction that has the denominator 10, by multiplying by 2 both numerator and denominator

(14/5 )*2=28/10

Now we can find out how much juine Jack drank

28/10- 11/10= 17/10

so Jack drank 17/10 orange juice , the fraction can be written also as

1 and 7/10
