Given :
For the school's sports day, a group of students prepared 12 1/2 litres of lemonade. At the end of the day they had 2 5/8 litres left over.
To Find :
How many litres of lemonade were sold.
Solution :
Initial amount of lemonade, I = 12 1/2 = 25/2 litres.
Final amount of lemonade, F = 2 5/8 = 21/8 litres.
Amount of lemonade sold, A = I - F
A = 25/2 - 21/8 litres
A = 9.875 litres
Therefore, 9.875 litres of lemonade were sold.
Hence, this is the required solution.
