Answer 2

Answer: Sasha drank
`5(1)/(2)` cups of water in total.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Sasha drank
`2(1)/(2)` pints of water during dance practice and she drank
`(1)/(2)` cup of water on the way back home.

We are to find the total quantity of water that she drank in total.

We know that

`1~\textup{pint of water}=2~\textup{cups of water,}\\\\\textup{So, }2(1)/(2)~\textup{pints of water}=2* 2(1)/(2)=2*(5)/(2)=5~\textup{cups of water}.`

Therefore, the total quantity of water That Sasha drank will be

`T_w=5+(1)/(2)=(11)/(2)=5(1)/(2)~\textup{cups of water}.`

Thus, Sasha drank
`5(1)/(2)` cups of water in total.
