Bill poured cups of water for two groups of runners. Everyone in the first group received 3/4 liter of water. Everyone in the second group received 4 blank 8 liter. is that fair?

Answer 1

To determine if it's fair, we need to compare the amount of water each group received.

1. *First Group:*

   • Each person received ( \frac{3}{4} ) liter of water.

2. *Second Group:*

   • Each person received ( \frac{4}{8} ) liter of water.

Now, let's simplify the fractions:

• ( \frac{4}{8} ) can be simplified to ( \frac{1}{2} ).

So, each person in the second group received ( \frac{1}{2} ) liter of water.

Comparing the two groups:

• ( \frac{3}{4} ) liter (first group) vs. ( \frac{1}{2} ) liter (second group).

In this case, the first group received more water ( ( \frac{3}{4} ) liter is greater than ( \frac{1}{2} ) liter). Therefore, it may not be considered fair in terms of the amount of water provided to each group.

Answer 2

That must be a little unfair .
