The correct Answer is:
To find out how much lemonade Ritin has left after distributing some of it, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Amounts:** - Ritin initially had \( \frac{21}{5} \) litres of lemonade. - He distributed \( \frac{13}{4} \) litres of lemonade. 2. **Set Up the Subtraction:** - To find out how much lemonade is left, we need to subtract the amount distributed from the initial amount: \[ \text{Lemonade left} = \frac{21}{5} - \frac{13}{4} \] 3. **Find the Least Common Multiple (LCM):** - The denominators are 5 and 4. The LCM of 5 and 4 is 20. 4. **Convert Each Fraction:** - Convert \( \frac{21}{5} \) to a fraction with a denominator of 20: \[ \frac{21}{5} = \frac{21 \times 4}{5 \times 4} = \frac{84}{20} \] - Convert \( \frac{13}{4} \) to a fraction with a denominator of 20: \[ \frac{13}{4} = \frac{13 \times 5}{4 \times 5} = \frac{65}{20} \] 5. **Perform the Subtraction:** - Now we can subtract the two fractions: \[ \frac{84}{20} - \frac{65}{20} = \frac{84 - 65}{20} = \frac{19}{20} \] 6. **Conclusion:** - The amount of lemonade left with Ritin is \( \frac{19}{20} \) litres. ### Final Answer: Ritin has \( \frac{19}{20} \) litres of lemonade left. ---
