Question

Seth and 5 friends went to San Diego for a summer weekend. Seth made 14 cups of lemonade. Everyone, including, Seth, wants an equal amount of all the lemonade.

How much lemonade should each person get?

Answer 1

Theres 6 people and 14 cups
14/6 = 2.333333
So approximately 2 1/3 cups for each person

Answer 2

2 1/3 cups of lemonade

Explanation:

There are 5 friends that we need to split the 14 cups of lemonade to. If we add Seth, that number becomes 6.

So:

• 14 ÷ 6 or
  `(14)/(6)`

How can we convert this fraction into a mixed number?

Well in order to do this, we can take the numerator, in our case it is 14, and divide that by its denominator, which is 6.

• 14 ÷ 6 = 2 remainder
  `(2)/(6)` or
  `2(1)/(3)`

This means that each person should get
`(7)/(3)` or
`2(1)/(3)` cups of lemonade.
