Question

Tommy runs a lemonade stand to raise money for Baker Children's Hospital. Last weekend, he made 8 quarts of lemonade to sell. Saturday was rainy, so he only sold 6 cups. The weather was better on Sunday, so he sold 18 cups. How many quarts of lemonade does he have left?

Answer 1

2 quarts

Explanation:

Answer 2

2 quarts

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we first need to calculate the total amount of lemonade, Tommy made in Cups. Since 1 quart holds 4 cups we simply multiply the 8 quarts that Tommy made by 4 like so...

8 * 4 = 32 cups of Lemonade

Now that we know that Tommy made a total of 32 cups of lemonade we can subtract the number of cups he sold each day from the total.

32 - 6 - 18 = 8 cups

Finally, we see that after selling 6 cups on Saturday and 18 cups on Sunday he has 8 cups left. Now we simply divide this by 4 to turn the cups back into quarts

8 / 4 = 2 quarts
