Question

25 POINTS!!! Tyler made 9 1/2 cups of lemonade. He offers 3/4 cup servings of lemonade to some relatives at a family picnic. What is the GREATEST number of relatives Tyler can offer lemonade to ? A: 7 B: 9 C: 12 D:13 Please tell me the correct answer and how you got it step by step because I don't get lol!

Answer 1

Tyler can offer 13 cups of lemonade to the relatives. You have to divide 9 1/2 by 3/4 to get 12.666666, than you write it as 13.

Answer 2

Tyler can offer 12 cups of a 3/4 serving with a 13th serving just short of 3/4 full. To get this answer, simply turn your fractions into decimal form, which would be 9.5 and .75. Then, divide 9.5 by .75 to find out the number of full 3/4 servings you can have.
