Problem
Liliane has 
more soda than Jacqueline, and Alice has 
more soda than Jacqueline. What is the relationship between the amounts of soda that Liliane and Alice have?
Liliane has 
more soda than Alice.
Liliane has more soda than Alice.
Liliane has 
more soda than Alice.
Liliane has 
more soda than Alice.
Liliane has 
more soda than Alice.
Solution 1
Let's assume that Jacqueline has 
gallon(s) of soda. Then Alice has 
gallons and Liliane has 
gallons. Doing division, we find out that 
, which means that Liliane has more soda. Therefore, the answer is 
.
Solution 2
WLOG, lets use 
gallons instead of . When you work it out, you get 
gallons and 
gallons. We have 
is of . Thus, we reach .

Solution 3
If Jacqueline has 
gallons of soda, Alice has 
gallons, and Liliane has 
gallons. Thus, the answer is
