John brings fruit punch to a school party. He brings 6 gallons of fruit punch but the students only drink 3/4 of it. How much did they drink?
(3/4) * 6 = 18/4 = 4 1/2 gallons
Thank you.
You're welcome.
To find out how much fruit punch the students drank, we first need to calculate the amount of fruit punch John brought to the school party that was actually consumed.
Given that John brought 6 gallons of fruit punch, and the students only drank 3/4 of it, we can multiply the total amount of fruit punch by the fraction that was consumed:
3/4 * 6 gallons = (3 * 6) / 4 gallons = 18 / 4 gallons = 4.5 gallons
Therefore, the students drank 4.5 gallons of fruit punch.
