Question

Kylee made 1 3 4 quarts of hot tea to serve to her best friends. She filled as many mugs as she could and had a small portion of tea left over. The mugs each held 2 7 quart of tea. How many quarts of tea did she have left over?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/8 quart

Step-by-step explanation:

STEPS TO DETERMINING THE ANSWER

Divide the total quarts of hot tea by the size of the mug. the remainder of the division is the leftover

$1\frac{3}{4}$ ÷ $\frac{2}{7}$

$\frac{7}{4}$ ÷ $\frac{2}{7}$

$\frac{7}{4}$ ×$\frac{7}{2}$ = $\frac{49}{8}$ = $6\frac{1}{8}$

6 cups would be filled and 1/8 quart would be left over
