Question

A juice stand uses 11 cups of strawberries to make 6 pitchers of juice. What is true about the number of cups of strawberries in each pitcher?

Answer 1

11 cups of strawberries ... 6 pitchers of juice
x cups of strawberries = ? ... 1 pitcher of juice

If you would like to know what is the number of cups of strawberries in each pitcher, you can calculate this using the following steps:

11 * 1 = 6 * x
11 = 6 * x      /6
x = 11/6
x = 1 5/6 cups of strawberries

Result: You will need 1 5/6 cups of strawberries in each pitcher.

You need 15/6 cups of strawberries in each pitcher.
