There are eight pints of lemonade at a party. An equal amount of lemonade is poured into each of fifteen glasses. Which of the following shows the number of pints in each glass?


To find the number of pints of lemonade in each glass, we need to divide the total amount of lemonade by the number of glasses.

Given:
- Total amount of lemonade = 8 pints
- Number of glasses = 15

The number of pints in each glass is:
\[
\frac{8 \text{ pints}}{15 \text{ glasses}} = \frac{8}{15} \text{ pints per glass}
\]

Thus, each glass will contain \(\frac{8}{15}\) pints of lemonade.

Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:
1. How many pints would each glass contain if there were 10 glasses instead of 15?
2. If 5 more pints of lemonade were added, how much lemonade would each glass contain now?
3. What is the decimal equivalent of \(\frac{8}{15}\)?
4. If each glass contained \(\frac{1}{3}\) pints, how many total pints of lemonade would there be for 15 glasses?
5. How would the answer change if the number of glasses was doubled?

**Tip:** When dividing, you can often leave your answer as a fraction for greater precision unless a decimal is specifically requested.
