Question

A pitcher has 16 cups of water in it. During the day, Aditi drank 5⁄2 cups, Kavitha drank 15⁄4 cups, and Rahul drank 33⁄8 cups. What are these amounts as mixed fractions?

Answer 1

5/2 = 2 1/2

15/4 = 3 3/4

33 /8 = 4 1/8

Explanation:

5/2 2 goes into 5 2 times with 1 left over = 2 1/2

15 /4 4 goes into 15 3 times with 3 left over 3 3/4

33/8 8 goes into 33 4 times with 1 left over 4 1/8
