Question

On Friday, Oscar sold 2 pitchers of lemon are from his lemonade stand. On Saturday, he sold 1/2 as much lemonade as on Friday. How many pitchers of lemonade did Oscar sell on Saturday

Answer 1

The correct answer is 1 pitcher.

Explanation:

Oscar sold 2 pitchers of lemon are from his lemonade stand on Friday.

On Saturday, he sold
`(1)/(2)` as much lemonade as on Friday.

The number of pitchers of lemon from the lemonade stand which Oscar sold on Saturday is given by
`(1)/(2)` × 2 = 1 pitcher.

Thus Oscar sold 1 pitcher on Saturday which is half of the number of pitchers of lemon he could sell on Friday.
