Answer:
A. 1⅛ + m = 2⅔
[tex] m = 1\frac{13}{24} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Cups of milk at breakfast = 1⅛
Cups of milk after breakfast = m
Total cups of milk by the end of the day = 2⅔
Thus:
Total cups of milk by the end of the day = cups of milk at breakfast + cups of drink after breakfast
Therefore:
1⅛ + m = 2⅔ (equation)
Solve for m
Subtract 1⅛ from each side
m = 2⅔ - 1⅛
Convert to improper fraction
m = 8/3 - 9/8
m = (64 - 27)/24 = 37/24
[tex] m = 1\frac{13}{24} [/tex]
