Courtney drank a total of 5 1/2 cups of water with her meals.
The total amount of water Courtney drank with her meals can be found by adding the amount of water she drank at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
At breakfast, she had 1 1/2 cups of water.
At lunch, she had 2 2/3 cups of water.
At dinner, she had 1 1/3 cups of water.
To find the total, we add these amounts:
1 1/2 + 2 2/3 + 1 1/3
To add these mixed numbers, we first convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
1 1/2 = 3/2
2 2/3 = 8/3
1 1/3 = 4/3
Now we add the fractions:
3/2 + 8/3 + 4/3 = 9/6 + 16/6 + 8/6 = 33/6
We can simplify the fraction:
33/6 = 5 3/6 = 5 1/2
So, Courtney drank a total of 5 1/2 cups of water with her meals.
