Question

A. 7one-fourth cups
B. 3start fraction 2 over 3 end fraction cups
C. 8 cups
D. 1The fraction is 3 over 4. cups

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

A. 7 one-fourth cups

Jamie gives her dogs one-fourth cup of treats each day and she does it for 7 days. So, the total amount of treats used is:

1/4 cup per day x 7 days = 7/4 cups or 1 3/4 cups

However, the question asks for the number of cups used (without fractions). Since Jamie cannot use less than one-fourth cup each day, she has to round up to the nearest one-fourth cup. Therefore, the answer is 7 one-fourth cups.

Answer 2

and now we see why typing math using words is a bad idea.
The answer is indeed seven 1/4-cup servings, or 7/4 cups

But in their weird way of writing mixed numbers,
7one-fourth cups means 7 1/4 cups.
The correct answer is D, 1 3/4 cups

Answer 3
