Answer:
A.) 12 3/4 cups
B.) 117 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part A</u>
If one serving of ice tea contains 3/4 cup of water, how much does 7 serving have?
To answer this, you must multiply 3/4 and 17
17 is the same as 17/1, so multiply the numerators and denominators
17 x 3 = 51
1 x 4 = 4
51/4 = 12 3/4
So, Leon used 51/4 or 12 3/4 cups of water
<u>Part B</u>
If the cooler has 88 servings of tea, how many cups of water does it have?
To solve this, divide 88 by 3/4
Dividing 88 by 3/4 is the same as multiplying 88 by 4/3.
Again, 88 is the same as 88/1 so multiply the numerators and the denominators.
88 x 4 = 352
1 x 3 = 3
352/3 = 117 1/3
So, there are 352/3 or 117 1/3 cups of water in the cooler
I hope this helps!
