Jim sold a fraction of $\frac{9}{12}$ gallon of lemonade while Dwight sold a fraction of $\frac{8}{12}$ gallon of lemonade. Hence, Jim sold more lemonade than Dwight by $\frac{1}{12}$ gallon.

Amount of gallon of lemonade Jim sold = $\frac{3}{4}$ Amount of gallon of lemonade both persons sold = $1\frac{5}{12}$ (also expressed as $\frac{17}{12}$ )Further Explanation

To determine the amount of gallon Dwight sold then, amount of gallon of lemonade Jim sold will be subtracted from the a mount of gallon of lemonade both persons sold i.e. $\frac{17}{12}$ - $\frac{3}{4}$ =

= $\frac{7}{12}$ - $\frac{3}{4}$ [The Lowest common denominator of 12 and 4 = 12]

= (1 x 17) – (3 x 3) /12

= (17) – (9) / 12

= 17 – 9 / 12

= $\frac{8}{12}$

Thus, Dwight sold 8/12 gallon of lemonade

To determine how much Jim sold, since they jointly sold $\frac{17}{12}$ , $\frac{8}{12}$ will be subtracted from $\frac{17}{12}$ .

Therefore,

= $\frac{17}{12}$ - $\frac{8}{12}$ [The Lowest common denominator of 12 and 12 = 12]

= (1 x 17) – (1 x 8) /12

= (17) – (8) / 12

= 17 – 8 /12

= $\frac{9}{12}$

Thus, Jim sold $\frac{9}{12}$ gallon of lemonade

To determine who sold more between the two, the values of the gallon of lemonade they each sold would be subtracted from each other. Since Jim sold $\frac{9}{12}$ and Dwight sold $\frac{8}{12}$ , then $\frac{9}{12}$ - $\frac{8}{12}$

= $\frac{9}{12}$ - $\frac{8}{12}$

= $\frac{1}{12}$

Therefore, Jim sold more gallon of lemonade than Dwight with a difference of $\frac{1}{12}$
