Question

pints of pineapple juice used per day
x = 1 day
how many days were ⁶⁄₈ pint or more juice used?
□ days
what was the combined amount of ⁶⁄₈ pint juice?
simplify!
□ ⁄ □ pints

Explanation:

Step1: Count days for ≥6/8 pints

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

Step2: Calculate total for 6/8 pints

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:

5 days
$\frac{9}{4}$ pints
