Question

Tate fills a container with 9 1/2 cups of lemonade. Tate drinks 32 fl. oz. of lemonade. How many fluid ounces are left?

Answer 1

44 fluid ounces of lemonade are left.

Explanation:

Given:

Tate fills a container with 9 1/2 cups of lemonade.

Tate drinks 32 fl. oz. of lemonade.

Now, to find the quantity of fluid ounces left.

So, we convert the unit of cups into fluid ounces.

Tate fill the container of lemonade with =
`9(1)/(2)\ cups.`

As, 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces.

So, by conversion factor:

`9(1)/(2) * 8`

`=(19)/(2) * 8`

`=9.5* 8=76\ fl.\ oz.`

Thus, Tate fill the container of lemonade with = 76 fl. oz.

Tate drinks lemonade = 32 fl. oz.

Now, to get the fluid ounces left we subtract the quantity of lemonade Tate drink from the total quantity of lemonade filled in the container:

`76-32`

`=44\ fl.\ oz.`

Therefore, 44 fluid ounces of lemonade are left.
