Question

Ttaylor made 5 1⁄4 cups of iced tea. how many 10 ounce glasses can he fill to the brim with iced tea?

Answer 1

He can fill 4 10 ounce cups to the brim.

A cup is 8 ounces so we can get the total ounces by multiplying 8 to 5.25.

We get 42 ounces total. Out of 42 ounces, he can only fill 4, 10 ounc cups to the brim.

Answer 2

4 glasses

Explanation:

Taylor made
`5(1)/(4)` cups of iced tea.

`5(1)/(4)` cups = 5.25 cups

1 cup = 8 ounces

5.25 cups = 8 × 5.25 = 42 ounces

He wants to fill 10 ounces glasses to the brim with iced tea.

`5(42)/(10)` = 4.2 glasses

Taylor can fill 4 glasses to the brim with iced tea.
