Question

At the start of a party, a drink dispenser contains 9 1.2 quarts of iced tea. After the party only 7 cups of tea remain. How many cups of iced tea did people drink during the party?

Answer 1

Answer: 31 cups

Explanation:

We should note that 1 quarts = 4 cups

Therefore, 9 1/2 quarts = 9 1/2 × 4 = 19/2 × 4 = 38 cups

Since only 7 cups of tea remained.after the party, the number of cups of iced tea that the people drank during the party will be:

= 38 - 7

= 31 cups of iced tea
