Question

Detective Pi has 5 1/5 quarts of orange juice. She likes to have 2/5 of a quart every morning how may mornings can detective pi have orange juice before she runs out

Answer 1

she can have 13 mornings before running out of orange juice.

Answer 2

We are given

Detective Pi has 5 1/5 quarts of orange juice

we can write in fraction form

we get

`=(5*5+1)/(5)`

`=(26)/(5)`

so,

Detective Pi has
`=(26)/(5)` quarts of orange juice

Let's assume

total number of mornings is x

She likes to have 2/5 of a quart every morning

so,

total quantity of juice = total number of morning*She likes to have 2/5 of a quart every morning

total quantity of juice is

`=(2)/(5) x`

now, we can set it equal to 26/5

`(26)/(5)=(2)/(5) x`

now, we can solve for x

we can multiply both sides by 5

`(26)/(5)*5=(2)/(5) x*5`

`26=2x`

divide both sides by 2

we get

`x=13`

so, total number of mornings is 13..........Answer
