Jill's

Jill's mom stored some of the honey in a container that held 3/4 of a gallon. She used half of this amount to sweeten tea. How much honey, in cups was used in the tea. Express your answers in cups.

Result

n =  6

Solution:

V1=3/4=34=0.75 gal V2=V1/2=0.75/2=38=0.375 gal  V3=0.0625 gal  n=V2/V3=0.375/0.0625=6V_{ 1 } = 3/4 = \dfrac{ 3 }{ 4 } = 0.75 \ gal \ \\ V_{ 2 } = V_{ 1 }/2 = 0.75/2 = \dfrac{ 3 }{ 8 } = 0.375 \ gal \ \\ \ \\ V_{ 3 } = 0.0625 \ gal \ \\ \ \\ n = V_{ 2 }/V_{ 3 } = 0.375/0.0625 = 6
