1 answer

To find the total amount of sugar Ms. Arnic uses in a month to make tea, we first need to find out how much sugar she uses to make one pitcher of tea.

Since she uses 3/4 cup of sugar to make one pitcher of tea, and she makes 7 pitchers of tea in a month, the total amount of sugar she uses in a month is:

3/4 cup * 7 pitchers = 21/4 cups = 5 1/4 cups

Therefore, Ms. Arnic uses 5 1/4 cups of sugar in a month to make tea.
