    Jane drank 1 3/4 quarts of water.

    Jane drank more water than Tom

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Tom drank = 1 1/4 quarts of water

    Jane drank = 1.75 quarts of water

    We have to write the amount of water Jane drank in fraction.

    There are some steps to convert decimal into fraction.

    Step 1:

    Value is 1.75:

    Put the 1 aside and just work on 0.75

    Write down the decimal value divided by 1

    Like, 0.75/1

    Step 2:

    Now multiply both the numerator and denominator by 100.

    We will multiply the numerator and denominator by 100 because 1.75 has two values after the decimal.

    0.75 * 100/1*100

    75/100

    Step 3:

    Simplify the fraction.

    divide the fraction by 5.

    =15/20

    =3/4

    Now bring back the 1: and the fraction will become.

    1 3/4

    Jane drank 1 3/4 quarts of water.

    Now who drank more water?

    Jane drank more water than Tom

    Reason:

    Tom drank 1 1/4 = 5/4

    Jane drank 1 3/4 = 7/4

    Both the fractions have same denominator, so the value with the greater numerator drank more water than the other.

    Therefore Jane drank more water than Tom ...
