Question

A coffee pot holds 3/4 quarts of coffee how much is this in cups write your answer as a whole number of a mixed number in simplest form

Answer 1

To answer this question, we need to know that 1 quart is equal to 4 cups.

Then, we need to do this conversion as follows:

1. We have a mixed fraction, and we need to convert it into an improper fraction:

`3(3)/(4)=3+(3)/(4)=(3\cdot4+3)/(4)=(12+3)/(4)=(15)/(4)`

2. Then, we have that 1 quart is equal to 4 cups:

`(15)/(4)\text{quarts}\cdot\frac{4cups}{1\text{quart}}=(15)/(4)\cdot4cups=15cups`

Therefore, 3+3/4 quarts of coffee is equal to 15 cups of coffee.
