Question

A coffeepot contains 1 1⁄2 quarts of coffee. After Tonya pours an equal amount of coffee into two cups, 3 1⁄2 cups of coffee remain in the pot. How much coffee did Tonya pour into each cup?

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

1 1⁄2 qt = 6 cups

6 cups - 3 1⁄2 cups = 2 1⁄2 cups = 20 oz

20 oz ÷ 2 = 10 oz = 1 cup + 2 oz
