Answer: Marry drank less than half of her glass of juice.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that Larry, Mary and Terry each had a full glass of juice.Larry drank \(\dfrac{3}{4}\) of his. Mary drank \(\dfrac{3}{8}\) of hers and Terry drank \(\dfrac{7}{10}\) of his.
We are to find who drank less than \(\dfrac{1}{2}\) of their juice.
We have
Portion of the glass of juice that Larry drank
\(=\dfrac{3}{4}>\dfrac{2}{4}\left(=\dfrac{1}{2}\right).\)
Portion of the glass of juice that Mary drank
\(=\dfrac{3}{8}<\dfrac{4}{8}\left(=\dfrac{1}{2}\right).\)
Portion of the glass of juice that Terry drank
\(=\dfrac{7}{10}>\dfrac{5}{10}\left(=\dfrac{1}{2}\right).\)
Therefore, Marry drank less than half of her glass of juice.
