Jim sold 3/4 gallon of lemonade. dwight sold some lemonade, too. together, they sold 1 5/12 gallons. who sold more lemonade , jim or dwight? how much more?

Jim sold a fraction of gallon of lemonade while Dwight sold a fraction of gallon of lemonade.  Hence, Jim sold more lemonade than Dwight by gallon.

To determine the amount of gallon Dwight sold then, amount of gallon of lemonade Jim sold will be subtracted from the a mount of gallon of lemonade both persons sold i.e. - =

= -    [The Lowest common denominator of 12 and 4 = 12]

= (1 x 17) – (3 x 3) /12

= (17) – (9) / 12

= 17 – 9 / 12

=

Thus, Dwight sold 8/12 gallon of lemonade

To determine how much Jim sold, since they jointly sold , will be subtracted from .

Therefore,

= -    [The Lowest common denominator of 12 and 12 = 12]

= (1 x 17) – (1 x 8) /12

= (17) – (8) / 12

= 17 – 8 /12

=

Thus, Jim sold gallon of lemonade

To determine who sold more between the two, the values of the gallon of lemonade they each sold would be subtracted from each other. Since Jim sold and Dwight sold , then -

= -

=

Therefore, Jim sold more gallon of lemonade than Dwight with a difference of
