Question

Sammy and 4 friends went to Austin for a summer weekend. Sammy made 21 cups of lemonade. Everyone, including, Sammy, wants an equal amount of all the lemonade.

How much lemonade should each person get?

Answer 1

In the equation below, is 5/3 a factor or the product?
5/3×5/8=25/24
A. Factor
B. Product
C. Neither

Answer 2

There are 5 people who want to share the 21 cups of lemonade equally, so each person should get 21/5 = 4.2 cups of lemonade. However, since you can't split a cup of lemonade, each person should get either 4 cups or 5 cups, but they all should have the same amount.

Answer 3

B. Product
