Problem
Sarah places four ounces of coffee into an eight-ounce cup and four ounces of cream into a second cup of the same size. She then pours half the coffee from the first cup to the second and, after stirring thoroughly, pours half the liquid in the second cup back to the first. What fraction of the liquid in the first cup is now cream?
Solution
We will simulate the process in steps.
In the beginning, we have:
ounces of coffee in cup
ounces of cream in cup
In the first step we pour ounces of coffee from cup
to cup
, getting:
ounces of coffee in cup
ounces of coffee and
ounces of cream in cup
In the second step we pour ounce of coffee and
ounces of cream from cup
to cup
, getting:
ounces of coffee and
ounces of cream in cup
- the rest in cup
Hence at the end we have ounces of liquid in cup
, and out of these
ounces is cream. Thus the answer is
.
