Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's break down and solve the problem step-by-step:
Given:
- Harley has 6 pints of lemonade.
- Rosie has times as many pints of lemonade as Harley.
Part (a): How many pints of lemonade does Rosie have?
-
First, convert to an improper fraction:
-
Multiply this fraction by the amount of lemonade Harley has:
Rosie has 22 pints of lemonade.
Part (b): How many more pints of lemonade does Rosie have than Harley?
-
Subtract the amount of lemonade Harley has from the amount Rosie has:
Rosie has 16 more pints of lemonade than Harley.
Final Answers:
- (a) Rosie has 22 pints of lemonade.
- (b) Rosie has 16 more pints of lemonade than Harley.
