Answer 1

2 cups

Explanation:

Given : A thermos contains 2 quarts of hot chocolate .

To Find : To get warm 4 ice skaters drink 1.5 cups of hot chocolate each how many cups of hot chocolate are left in thermos

Solution :

A thermos contains 2 quarts of hot chocolate

1 quarts = 4 cups

So 2 quarts = 4*2=8 cups

So there are 8 cups of hot chocolate in thermos

Now since each ice skater drink 1.5 cup of hot chocolate

So, 4 ice skater drinks cups of chocolate = 1.5*4=6 cups

Since there were 6 cups of hot chocolate in thermos

And ice skaters drinks 6 cups .

So, remaining cups = 8-6 =2

Thus 2 cups of hot chocolate are left in the thermos
