Answer:
1 1/2 quarts of water
Explanation:
If she drinks 1/4 quart of water for every mile, in 6 miles, she will drink 6 times 1/4 quart of water, so
[tex]6\times\frac{1}{4}=\frac{6}{1}\times\frac{1}{4}=\frac{6\times1}{1\times4}=\frac{6}{4}[/tex]
Now, we can simplify the fraction dividing the numerator and denominator by 2
[tex]\frac{6}{4}=\frac{6\div2}{4\div2}=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Now to convert 3/2 to a mixed number, let's divide 3 by 2
Since 1 is the quotient and 1 is the remainder, the mixed number is
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{2}=\text{Quotient}\frac{\text{ Remainder}}{2} \\ \frac{3}{2}=1\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]
So, the answer is;
1 1/2 quarts of water.
