Answer:

0.75 or 3/4

Explanation:

10 1/2 teaspoons of sugar ÷ 14 oz energy drink = ?

10.5 teaspoons of sugar ÷ 14 oz energy drink = 0.75 teaspoons of sugar per drink

OR (fraction way):

10 1/2 ÷ 14 = ?

First, Convert any mixed numbers to fractions. Then your initial equation becomes:

21/2 ÷ 14/1 = ?

Apply the fractions formula for division (just flip the second fraction and multiply):

21/2 x 1/14 = 21/28 = 3/4 = 0.75

Hopefully this helps! Sorry if wrong. You are loved and you are beautiful/handsome!
