Carmen's water bottle holds 1 8/10 liters of water. Jorge's water bottle holds 2 2/5 liters of water. Jorge says his bottle holds about 1/2 liter more of water than Carmen's. Estimate if this is true or not. What is the actual difference?​

Step-by-step explanation:

Carmen's water bottle = 1.8 litres ≈ 2 litres

Jorge's water bottle = 2[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] = 2.4 litres ≈ 2 litres

Therefore, from estimate, Jorge's water bottle does not hold half litre more of water than Carmen's.

Actual difference = 2.4 - 1.8 = 0.6 litres
