Answer:
13 glasses
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Amount of of lemonade available = 20⅜ cups
Amount of lemonade per guest = 1½ cups
Required:
Number of glasses to be filled
SOLUTION:
Number of glass to be filled = amount of lemonade available ÷ amount of lemonade per guest
= 20⅜ ÷ 1½
Change both mixed fractions to improper fractions
= [tex] \frac{163}{8} [/tex] ÷ [tex] \frac{3}{2} [/tex]
Flip the fraction on your right upside down and change the division to multiplication
[tex] = \frac{163}{8} * \frac{2}{3} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{163*2}{8*3} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{163*1}{4*3} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{163}{12} = 13.58 [/tex]
Number of glasses that would be filled is roughly 13 glasses.
