Answer:
The cups of juice that Yesenia buys are:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, you need to know the conversión below:
- 1 gallon = 16 cups.
Now the paragraph mentions that Yesenia buys 1 quart of juice (that refers to a quart of gallon), then, having the conversion above we can operate with a rule of three:
- 1 gallon = 16 cups
- 1/4 gallon = X
Solving this we have:
- <u>(1/4 * 16)/1 = 4 cups</u>
In the first purchase, Yesenia actually buys 4 cups (that is the same to 1 quart of gallon), next she buys one eighth, then we operate again with the first conversion but using this new quantity:
- 1 gallon = 16 cups
- 1/8 gallon = X
Solving this we have:
- <u>(1/8 * 16)/1 = 2 cups</u>
By last, we add every purchase:
- <u>Number cups of juice purchased by Yesenia = 4 cups + 2 cups = 6 cups.</u>
