Question

John had 2/3 gallon of lemonade to share with his friends. He poured the lemonade in several cups. If he poured 1/8 gallon of lemonade into each cup until he ran out of lemonade, how many cups had lemonade in them, including the one that was partially filled?A. 1 B. 3 C. 5 D. 6

Answer 1

To know how many cups have some lemonade we should divide the total amount (2/3) by the amound he poured (1/8) so:

`N=((2)/(3))/((1)/(8))=(2\cdot8)/(3)=(16)/(3)=5.33`

So we have to aproximate to the next full number so the answer is 6 cups
