Question

Cody filled a container with 7 3/16 quarts of iced tea. how many 1/4 quart glasses can be served from the container

Answer 1

simply do a division on both.


`\bf \stackrel{mixed}{7(3)/(16)}\implies \cfrac{7\cdot 16+3}{16}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{115}{16}} \\\\\\ \textit{how many times does }(1)/(4)\textit{ go into }(115)/(16)? \\\\\\ \cfrac{\quad (115)/(16)\quad }{(1)/(4)}\implies \cfrac{115}{16}\cdot \cfrac{4}{1}\implies \cfrac{115}{4}\implies 28(3)/(4)`
