My question is: Elijah drank 8.5 pints of coffee yesterday. Emilio drank 9.5 pints of water yesterday. How many cups of liquid did the two boys drink yesterday? Your thoughts:
Total drunk: 8.5 + 9.5 = 18 pints. 18 pints * 2 = 36 cups. The two boys drank a total of 36 cups of liquid yesterday. The final answer: 36.
