Tag!
this is supposed to be a very easy calculation but I need to come to you because I am not understanding something

we have 3.5 quarts of club soda and two quarts cost 1 dollar. why is the cost of the 3.5 quarts of club soda $1.75?$

I don't know where the 75 is coming from.

I have three quarts, as in, 1/4, 1/4, 1/4

the first two quarters = 1 dollar

why does the answer say $1.75?$

Thanks for you help

maybe because the 1/4 left is equal to .25 + the .5 =75

is it correct?

Hello,

I cannot follow your reasoning. The easiest way is to apply the rule of three.

2 quart are equivalent to 1 dollar.

$2\phantom{\rule{0.167em}{0ex}}\text{qt}\stackrel{\wedge }{=}1$

3.5 quarts are equivalent to x dollars

$3.5\phantom{\rule{0.167em}{0ex}}\text{qt}\stackrel{\wedge }{=}x\phantom{\rule{0.12em}{0ex}}$

Thus $x\phantom{\rule{0.12em}{0ex}}=1\cdot \frac{3.5}{2}=...$
