Lisa made a batch of 27 5/8quarts of punch fruit.Each container holds 7/8 of a quart. How many containers can lisa fill with fruit punch??A)24 1/8B)25C)26 5/8D)31 4/7

Sagot :

We will solve as follows:

*We transform the total number of the batch to just a fraction as follows:

[tex]27\frac{5}{8}=\frac{216}{8}+\frac{5}{8}=\frac{221}{8}[/tex]

So, she made 221/8 quarts of fruit punch. If each container can hold 7/8 of a quart, then we calculate as follows:

[tex]x=\frac{(\frac{221}{8})}{(\frac{7}{8})}\Rightarrow x=\frac{221}{7}[/tex]

Now, we extract an integer:

[tex]\frac{217}{7}+\frac{4}{7}=31\frac{4}{7}[/tex]

So, the solution is D.
