Cheiko bottles 4 1/8 quarts of root beer. Then she bottles another 5 7/8 quarts of root beer. How many 1-cup servings of root beer does she have?
Please show me the problem, i am not getting this at all.
First, add 4 1/8 + 5 7/8
Since there are 4 cups in a quart, you'll need to multiply the sum by 4.
So, 4 1/8+ 5 7/8= 9 8/8. Do i add a whole number to the 9? and then multiply by 4?
Yes. 9 8/8 = 10
Ok. Thank you Ms.Sue!
You're welcome.
To solve this problem, we need to add the quantities of root beer in the two bottles.
First, we need to find the sum of 4 1/8 quarts and 5 7/8 quarts.
To add fractions, we need to have the same denominator. Let's convert the fractions to have a common denominator of 8:
4 1/8 quarts = (4 x 8 + 1)/8 = 33/8 quarts
5 7/8 quarts = (5 x 8 + 7)/8 = 47/8 quarts
Now, we can add the fractions:
(33/8) + (47/8) = (33 + 47)/8 = 80/8 = 10 quarts
Since 1 quart is equal to 4 cups, we can convert 10 quarts to cups by multiplying by 4:
10 quarts x 4 cups/quart = 40 cups
Therefore, Cheiko has 40 cups of root beer.
