Answer:

A. 1⅛ + m = 2⅔

[tex] m = 1\frac{13}{24} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Cups of milk at breakfast = 1⅛

Cups of milk after breakfast = m

Total cups of milk by the end of the day = 2⅔

Thus:

Total cups of milk by the end of the day = cups of milk at breakfast + cups of drink after breakfast

Therefore:

1⅛ + m = 2⅔ (equation)

Solve for m

Subtract 1⅛ from each side

m = 2⅔ - 1⅛

Convert to improper fraction

m = 8/3 - 9/8

m = (64 - 27)/24 = 37/24

[tex] m = 1\frac{13}{24} [/tex]
