Kylee made 1 3 4 quarts of hot tea to serve to her best friends. She filled as many mugs as she could and had a small portion of tea left over. The mugs each held 2 7 quart of tea. How many quarts of tea did she have left over?

Answer 1

1/8 quart

Explanation:

STEPS TO DETERMINING THE ANSWER

Divide the total quarts of hot tea by the size of the mug. the remainder of the division is the leftover

`1(3)/(4)` ÷
`(2)/(7)`

`(7)/(4)` ÷
`(2)/(7)`

`(7)/(4)` ×
`(7)/(2)` =
`(49)/(8)` =
`6(1)/(8)`

6 cups would be filled and 1/8 quart would be left over
