Answer:

1 1/5 cups of soda.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you need to change 3 and 2 1/2 into improper fractions so you get 6/2 and 5/2. Then you have to flip 5/2 so it becomes 2/5 and then you just have to cross cancel. Since the 2 from 2/5 can go into the 2 in 6/2 one time, 2/5 changes into 1/5 and 6/2 changes to 6/1. Now you can multiply across so 6 times 1 is 6 and 1 times 5 is 5 so you get 6/5. Now you have to change it into a mixed number which would be 1 1/5.

I hope this helps you :D

Setler [38]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf t = 4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf 3(t+3)+5(3+2t)-76 = 0\\\\Expanding \ Parenthesis\\\\3t + 9 + 15 + 10t -76 = 0\\\\13t + 24 -76 = 0\\\\13t - 52 = 0\\\\Add \ 52 \ to \ both \ sides\\\\13t = 52\\\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 13\\\\t = 52/13\\\\t = 4\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}$
