Question

Han drinks three gallons of iced tea each day. Each gallon of iced tea contains ¾ cups of sugar. How much sugar does Han drink when drinking her iced tea each day?

Answer 1

3 cups of sugar.

Explanation:

Han drinks 3/4 of a cup of sugar each day when she drinks iced tea. She drinks 3 gallons, and each contains 3/4. If each contains only 3/4, we will have to multiply 3/4 by 3 gallons to find our answer to this question.

`(3)/(4) = 1 \text{-gallon}`

So, now we will have to multiply 3/4 by the number 3.

`(3)/(4)` ×
`3` =
`(12)/(4)`

12/4 is equal to 3, so the answer is 3.
