days
what was the combined amount
of 6/8 pint juice? simplify!
pints

Explanation:

Step1: Count days for ≥6/8 pint

Count X's at $\frac{6}{8}$, $\frac{7}{8}$: $3 + 2 = 5$

Step2: Calculate combined 6/8 pint juice

Multiply days by amount: $3 \times \frac{6}{8} = \frac{18}{8}$

Step3: Simplify the fraction

Reduce $\frac{18}{8}$: $\frac{18\div2}{8\div2} = \frac{9}{4}$

Answer:

1. 5 days
2. $\frac{9}{4}$ pints
