1/4 2 people carried 3/8 2 people carried 1/2 3 people carried 5/8 1 people carried 7/8 how many cups of green ooze was carried in all?

Answer 1

21/8 cups of green slime- 2.625

Answer 2

`5 cups`

Explanation:

TO know the answer to this problem you just have to add up the number of cups that each one carried:

`2((1)/(4) )+2((1)/(2) )+2((3)/(8) )+3((5)/(8) )+(7)/(8)=\\((2)/(4) )+((6)/(8) )+((2)/(2) )+((15)/(8) )+(7)/(8)=(40)/(8) \\(40)/(8) =5`

By adding them up we know that all together carried 40/8 cups, so between all of them they carried 5 cups.
