Q. Rosanne makes 1 1/21\ 1/2 liters of strawberry lemonade. She pours 1/41/4 of a liter of lemonade into a thermos to take to the park. Her brother drinks 2/52/5 of the remaining lemonade. How much lemonade does Rosanne's brother drink?\newlineWrite your answer as a whole number, fraction, or mixed number. Simplify any fractions.\newline____ liters
  1. Calculate Lemonade Remaining: Calculate the amount of lemonade left after Rosanne pours some into the thermos. \newline1121 \frac{1}{2} liters - 14\frac{1}{4} liter = 1141 \frac{1}{4} liters left.
  2. Convert to Improper Fraction: Convert 1141\frac{1}{4} liters to an improper fraction for easier calculation. \newline114=541\frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{4} liters.
  3. Calculate Brother's Consumption: Calculate how much her brother drinks, which is 25\frac{2}{5} of the remaining lemonade. \newline(25)×(54)=24=12\left(\frac{2}{5}\right) \times \left(\frac{5}{4}\right) = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2} liter.
