The teapot

There were 2 liters of tea in the teapot. Dad poured himself a quarter of a liter of tea and Mom half a liter of tea. What part remained in the teapot?

Final Answer:

x =  5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} V_1=2\text{l} \\ {V}_2=V_1-\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{2}=2-\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{4}=1\frac{1}{4}=1.25\text{l} \\ x=\frac{V_2}{V_1}=\frac{\frac{5}{4}}{2}=\frac{5}{8}=0.625 \end{gathered}$$
