Vidya and Pratap went for a picnic. Their mother gave them a water bottle that contained 5 liters of water. Vidya consumed 2/5 of the water. Pratap consumed the remaining water.

What fraction of the total quantity of water did Pratap drink?

Dear Student

From the question, it is given that,
Amount of water in the water bottle = 5 liters
Then,
Amount of water consumed by Pratap = (1–water consumed by Vidya)
= (1–(2/5))
= (5-2)/5
= 3/5
∴Total amount of water consumed by Pratap = 3/5 of 5 liters
= (3/5) × 5
= 3 liters
So, the total amount of water drank by Pratap is 3 liters

Thanks
