The cafe served 13 mugs of green tea and 11 mugs of coffee. Each mug of tea contained 3/4 cup of tea, while each mug of coffee contained 2/3 cup of coffee. Did the cafe serve more coffee or more tea?

the cafe served more tea.

one cup of green tea has

(3)/(4)
so you multiply that by 13.

(3)/(4) * (13)/(1)
you get

(39)/(4)
divide that to find the amount of green tea. your answer for the green tea will be 9.75.

do the Same for the coffee.

(11)/(1) * (2)/( 3) = (22)/(3) = 7.3333

Green tea: 9.75
coffee: 7.333

The cafe served more green tea
