Answer 4

there is 3/8 and there is 1/8 left so it hold 4/8 which = 1/2 of a liter

Answer 5

You just need to add up the volumes

Answer 6

would it be 4/8 sorry i dont got the answer cuz im dumb but whatever (don't listen to me im guessing)

Answer 7

x is the total amount of water in the water bottle
\[x-\frac{3}{8} = \frac{1}{8}\] because the total amount of water subtracts by how much she drank, equals how much she has left
\[x=\frac{4}{8}\] and then you can simplify that fraction to get the answer

umm okay
