Question

I need to drink 8 2/4 cups of water and 2 1/5 cups milk every day. How much fluid do I have to drink?

Answer 1

Answer:

The total fluid you have to drink is 10  7/10  =  10.7  cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

The daily requirement  of water =  8 2/4 cups

Now, $8 \frac{2}{4} = 8+ \frac{2}{4} = 8+ 0.5 = 8.5$

or, the daily water requirement = 8.5 cups

The daily requirement  of milk =  2 1/5 cups

Now, $2 \frac{1}{5} = 2+ \frac{1}{5} = 2+ 0.2 = 2.2$

or, the daily milk requirement = 2.2 cups

So, The total fluid needed  = Cups of  (Water + Milk) needed

                                              =  8.5 cups + 2.2 cups

                                              = 10.7 cups

Also, $10.7 = 10 + 0.7 = 10 + \frac{7}{10} = 10\frac{7}{10}$

Hence, the total fluid you have to drink is 10 7/10 cups.
