Solution

First, we need to find the difference between the amounts of soda that Reagan and Kendrick drank.

Reagan drank 7/8 of a bottle of soda and Kendrick drank 3/4 of a bottle of soda.

To find the difference, we need to subtract the fraction that represents the amount Kendrick drank from the fraction that represents the amount Reagan drank.

However, before we can subtract these fractions, we need to make sure they have the same denominator.

The least common denominator between 8 and 4 is 8.

The fraction 3/4 can be converted to 6/8 by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by 2.

So, Kendrick drank 6/8 of a bottle of soda.

Now, we can subtract the amount Kendrick drank from the amount Reagan drank:

7/8 - 6/8 = 1/8

So, Reagan drank 1/8 of a bottle more soda than Kendrick.
