25
30

Answer 1

30 = 8 coolers
25 = 5/6 of 30

Answer = 25 quarts

Answer 2

They drink 25 quarts of water.

Explanation:

Amount of water in 1 cooler =
`3(3)/(4)=(15)/(4) quarts`

no. of coolers = 8

Amount of water in 8 coolers =
`(15)/(4) * 8 = 30`

Now we are given that The team drinks 5/6 of the water.

So, amount of water drank by team =
`(5)/(6) * 30 = 25`

So, Option C is true
