Question

Grace diides 6 cups of fruit juice equally among 8 freinds two of her freinds do not drink the juice how much is left over?

Answer 1

Answer:

Amount of juice left over is 1.5 cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount of juices Grace has = 6 cups

Number of friends = 8

She divides the juice equally among her friends.

Now we will first find Amount of juice each friend will have.

Amount of juice each friend will get can be calculated by dividing Amount of juices with total number of friends.

Framing in equation form we get;

Amount of juice each friend will have = $\frac{6}{8}= \frac{3}{4}\ cups \ \ \ OR \ \ \ \ 0.75\ cups$

Number of friends who do not drink = 2

Amount of juice left will be equal to Number of friends who do not drink multiplied by Amount of juice each friend will have.

Framing in equation form we get;

Amount of juice left = $2\times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{2} \ cups \ \ \ \ OR \ \ \ \ 1.5\ cups$

Hence Amount of juice left over is 1.5 cups.
