Question

Ghalib loves making a special soda drink. He fills 1/3 of the container with orange soda. He fills the remaining space with 4 cups of lemon-lime soda.

How many pints of his special soda drink did Ghalib make?

Answer 1

Ghazib made 3 pints of special soda.

Explanation:

Let x represent volume of container.

We have been given that Ghazib fills 1/3 of the container with orange soda. He fills the remaining space with 4 cups of lemon-lime soda.

The part of container filled by lemon-lime soda would be
`x-(1)/(3)x=(2)/(3)x`

2/3 part of container is filled by 4 cups, so we can set an equation as:

`(2)/(3)x=4`

`(3)/(2)* (2)/(3)x=(3)/(2)* 4`

`x=3* 2`

`x=6`

Therefore, Ghazib made 6 cups of special soda.

Now we will convert cups to pints.

1 cup = 0.5 pints

`\text{6 cups}=6* 0.5\text{ pints}=3\text{ pints}`

Therefore, Ghazib made 3 pints of special soda.

Answer 2

1/3 is orange that leaves 2/3 left

2/3 X = 4 cups

x= 4 * 3/2

x= 6 cups

the container is 6 cups

2 cup = 1 pints

6 cups * 1 pints/2 cups = 3 pints

He made 3 pints of his special soda
