Question

Andrea put 2 quarts of water and 1 cup of lemon juice in a pitcher how many total cup of liquid are in the pitcher

Answer 1

2 quarts+1 cup= 2 1/4 quarts.

There are 4 cups in a quart, so 2 of 1/4 is 2 1/4.

Answer 2

9 cups of liquid are in the pitcher

Explanation:

We have

1 quarts = 4 cups

so this means

2 quarts = 2× 4 cups = 8 cups

Now it is given that,

Andrea put 2 quarts of water and 1 cup of lemon

so we have

2 quarts of water and 1 cup of lemon =2 quarts of water + 1 cup of lemon

= 8 cups of water + 1 cup of lemon

Total cup of liquid = 8 cups + 1 cup = 9 cups

Hence there are 9 cups in the pitcher.
