Question

Kaden drinks 1 3/4 glasses of milk each day. At this rate, how many days will it

take him to drink a total of 14 glasses?

Answer 1

It will take 8 days

Explanation:

Mixed numbers in equations

1 3/4 * d = 14

Change the mixed number to an improper fraction

1 3/4 = ( 4*1 + 3) /4 = 7/4

7/4 * d = 14

Multiply each side by 4/7

4/7 * 7/4 *d = 14 * 4/7

d = 8

It will take 8 days.
