Explanation:

Step1: Count number of days with 1 3/4 cups

Count the number of times 1 3/4 appears in the data - set. It appears 5 times.

Step2: Calculate total amount

Multiply the amount per - day (1 3/4 cups) by the number of days (5). First convert 1 3/4 to an improper fraction: $1\frac{3}{4}=\frac{4\times1 + 3}{4}=\frac{7}{4}$. Then multiply $\frac{7}{4}\times5=\frac{35}{4}=8\frac{3}{4}$ cups.

Answer:

$8\frac{3}{4}$ cups
