Question

Ryan made 7 7/8 quarts of hot chocolate. Each mug holds 7/8 of a quart. How many mugs will Ryan be able to fill?

Answer 1

Answer:

he should be able to fill 9 mugs

Answer 2

Answer: Ryan will be able to fill 9 mugs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total quarts of hot chocolate made by Ron = $7\dfrac{7}{8}$ quarts.

It can be written as $\dfrac{7(8)+7}{8}=\dfrac{63}{8}$

Each mug holds $\dfrac{7}{8}$ of a quart.

Then by division operation, the number of mugs Ryan will be able to fill :-

Total quarts of hot chocolate ÷ Quarts of hot chocolate hold by each mug.

=$\dfrac{63}{8}\div\dfrac{7}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{63}{8}\times\dfrac{8}{7}=9$

Hence, Ryan will be able to fill 9 mugs.
