Question

A pitcher contains 19.25 cups of iced tea. You drink 1.25 cups of the tea each morning and 1.5 cups of the tea each evening. When will you run out of iced tea?

Answer 1

Seven days

Explanation:

From the information given, you know that you drink in a day 1.25 cups of the tea in the morning morning and 1.5 cups of the tea in the evening which is equal to:

1.25+1.5=2.75 cups a day

Now that you know the amount of cups that you drink in a day, you can divide the amount of cups in the pitcher by the amount of cups you drink in a day:

19.25/2.75= 7

According to this, the answer is that you will run out of iced tea after seven days.
