Question

Beatrice made $7\frac{2}{3}$ cups of lemonade for her lemonade stand. Later, she made $10\frac{3}{5}$ more cups of lemonade. How many cups of lemonade did she make in total?

Answer 1

Find the total number of cups of lemonade been made:
Given that, initially Beatrice made $7\frac{2}{3}$cups of lemonade and then made $10\frac{3}{5}$.

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow 7\frac{2}{3}+10\frac{3}{5}=7\frac{10}{15}+10\frac{9}{15} \\ =7+10+\frac{10}{15}+\frac{9}{15} \\ =17+\frac{19}{15} \\ =18\frac{4}{15} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the answer is $18\frac{4}{15}$cups.
