That was the wrong answer D:
First, learn how to type fractions, willya?
Rosanne makes 1 1/2 L
thermos gets 1/4 L, leaving 1 1/4 L (or 5/4 L)
Brother drinks 2/5 * 5/4 = 1/2 L
To solve this problem, we need to break it down step by step:
1. Rosanne makes 1 and 1/2 liters of strawberry lemonade.
2. She pours 1/4 of a liter into a thermos to take to the park.
To find out how much lemonade is left after pouring into the thermos, we subtract the amount poured (1/4 liter) from the total amount made (1 and 1/2 liters):
1 and 1/2 - 1/4 = 6/4 - 1/4 = 5/4 liters
So, there are 5/4 liters of lemonade remaining.
3. Rosanne's brother drinks 2/5 of the remaining lemonade.
To find out how much lemonade Rosanne's brother drinks, we multiply the remaining amount (5/4 liters) by the fraction of lemonade he drinks (2/5):
5/4 * 2/5 = (5*2) / (4*5) = 10/20 = 1/2 liter
Therefore, Rosanne's brother drinks 1/2 liter of lemonade.
