To determine how many people can drink from the tea pot, we need to calculate the number of cups that can be made from its total capacity.
1. Calculate the number of cups that can be made from the tea pot:
- Each cup has a capacity of 150 ml.
- The tea pot has a total capacity of 1800 ml.
- Divide the total capacity of the tea pot by the capacity of each cup: 1800 ml / 150 ml = 12 cups.
2. Determine the number of people who can drink from the tea pot:
- Each person wants 2 cups of tea.
- Divide the total number of cups by the number of cups each person wants: 12 cups / 2 cups/person = 6 people.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A', which states that 6 people can drink from the tea pot.
Explanation:
The total capacity of the tea pot is given as 1800 ml. To find out how many cups can be made from this amount, we divide the total capacity by the capacity of each cup. In this case, each cup has a capacity of 150 ml. So, 1800 ml divided by 150 ml gives us 12 cups.
However, the question asks how many people can drink from the tea pot. Since each person wants 2 cups of tea, we divide the total number of cups by 2 to find the number of people. Therefore, 12 cups divided by 2 cups/person gives us 6 people.
Therefore, 6 people can drink from the tea pot if each person wants 2 cups of tea.
