Question

Tyler drank 2 1/2 cups of water and Summer drank 4 1/4 cups of water. how much water did they drink all together?

Answer 1

To find out how much water they both drink we add the quantity for each of them:

`2(1)/(2)+4(1)/(4)=(5)/(2)+(17)/(4)=(20+34)/(8)=(54)/(8)=(27)/(4)=6(3)/(4)`

Therefore they drank 6 3/4 of water.
