Answer 1

The two beverages can be (iced tea,fruit juice) or (iced tea,soda).

Explanation:

Given : Beverages iced tea
`(3)/(8)`, fruit juice
`(2)/(8)`, water
`(1)/(8)`, soda
`(2)/(8)`.

To find : Which two beverages have a sum of
`(5)/(8)` of the students votes ?

Solution :

We have to get the two beverages whose sum became
`(5)/(8)` .

The possible ways are

1) Iced tea + Fruit juice =
`(3)/(8)+(2)/(8)`

Iced tea + Fruit juice =
`(5)/(8)`

2) Iced tea + Soda =
`(3)/(8)+(2)/(8)`

Iced tea + Soda =
`(5)/(8)`

Therefore, the two beverages can be (iced tea,fruit juice) or (iced tea,soda).
