Question

If each student in the class drinks

1 3/5 cups of juice during the party
and there are 9 students in the
class, how many cups of juice will
be needed?

Answer 1

14 2/5 Cups of juice which rounded off gives you 15 cups of juice.

Explanation:

Change the mixed fraction into an improper fraction:

1 3/5=8/5

Then Multiply the fraction by 9 because there are 9 students :

9×8/5=72/5

Now change the 72/5 into a mixed fraction:

72/5= 14 2/5

so therefore it would be 14 Cups and 2/5th but we round it off to 15 Cups.
