Question

John has a 3/4 of a quart of orange juice and needs to fill it equally in cups that hold 1/10 of a quart. how many cups can he fill?

Answer 1

Answer: 7 1/2 cups

Explanation:

We first need to make both fractions have an equal denominator. Cross Multiply 3/4 and 1/10. You will end up with 30/40 and 4/40.

Next we divided 30 by 4, and we will end up with 7 1/2. 7 times 4 is 28, and half of 4 is 1/2, or in this case 2/10. John can fill 7 and 1/2 cups of orange juice.
