Answer :

Let x be the amount of water in the bottle

Lisa drank 7/16 of a bottle of water during the soccer game.

Amount of water drank by Lisa = 7/16 of x

Amount of water drank by Lisa = 7/16x

[tex]\frac{7}{16}x=0.437x[/tex]

Julianne drank 2/3 of the water in a bottle

Amount of water drank by Julianne = 2/3 of x

Amount of water drank by Julianne = 2/3x

[tex]\frac{2}{3}x=0.66x[/tex]

Since, 0.66 > 0.437

So, Julianne drank more water than Lisa

Difference between the amount of water : Amount water drank by Julianne - AMount of water drank by Lisa

Difference between the amount of water = 0.66 - 0.437

Difference between the amount of water = 0.223

So, Julianne drank more water than Lisa by 0.223

Answer : Julianne drank more water than Lisa by 0.223
