A pitcher contains 2/3 quart of lemonade. If an equal amount of lemonade is poured into each of 6 glasses, how much lemonade will each glass contain
To determine how much lemonade each glass will contain, we need to divide the amount of lemonade in the pitcher (2/3 quart) by the number of glasses (6).
To perform the division, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the fraction 2/3 to decimals.
- Divide the numerator (2) by the denominator (3): 2 ÷ 3 = 0.67.
Step 2: Divide the converted fraction by the number of glasses.
- Divide 0.67 by 6: 0.67 ÷ 6 = 0.112.
Step 3: Round the result if necessary.
- The calculation gives us 0.112, which can be rounded to the nearest hundredth: 0.11.
Therefore, each glass will contain approximately 0.11 quarts of lemonade.
