Question

Samantha has 4 1/2 gallons of lemonade for her daughter’s birthday party. Each gallon of lemonade contains 1.5 grams of fat. How many grams of fat are contained in all the lemonade Samantha has for the party?

Answer 1

6.75 grams

Explanation:

Total amount of lemonade with Samantha = 4 1/2 gallons

= (4*2 + 1)/2 gallons = 9/2 gallons = 4.5 gallons

Amount of fat in 1 gallon of lemonade = 1.5 grams

To find amount of fat in 4.5 gallons lemonade

we multiply both side of equation with 4.5

Amount of fat in 1*4.5 gallon of lemonade = 1.5*4.5 grams = 6.75 grams

Thus,

there is 6.75 grams of fat in all the lemonade Samantha has for the party
