Question

Tyler has a pitcher of 12 liters of lemonade. Tyler pours an equal amount of lemonade into

3 cups. Afterward, there is liter of lemonade remaining in the pitcher. How many liters
of lemonade are in each cup?

Answer 1

`(17)/(36)`

Explanation:

- 1 and 3/4 can be made into an improper fraction, 7/4

- 7/4 = 3x + 1/3, where x is equal to the amount of liters in each cup, 7/4 represents the total amount of lemonade in both the pitcher and cups, and 1/3 represents the amount of lemonade left over.

- Solve for x:

7/4 - 1/3 = 3x

21/12 - 4/12 = 3x

17/12 = 3x

x = 17/36
