Question

Two glasses are to filled from a 1 L bottle of mineral water.

So, volume of Glass A is volume of Glass B.

• A. less than
• B. greater than
• C. equal to
• D. Can't be compared

Answer 1

The correct option is A less than

Here,
$\text{Volume of Glass A is}\frac{1}{5}\text{of the mineral}$
$\text{water bottle.}$

$\text{Volume of Glass B is}\frac{3}{4}\text{of the mineral}$
$\text{water bottle.}$

$\text{Now both}\frac{1}{5}\text{and}\frac{3}{4}$
have different denominators. To convert them into like fractions, we make the denominator equal to 20.

In terms of fraction bar, they can be shown as:


So, volume of Glass A is less than volume of Glass B.
