Given :

For the school's sports day, a group of students prepared 12 1/2 litres of lemonade. At the end of the day they had 2 5/8 litres left over.

To Find :

How many litres of lemonade were sold.

Solution :

Initial amount of lemonade, I = 12 1/2 = 25/2 litres.

Final amount of lemonade, F = 2 5/8 = 21/8 litres.

Amount of lemonade sold, A = I - F

A = 25/2 - 21/8 litres

A = 9.875 litres

Therefore, 9.875 litres of lemonade were sold.

Hence, this is the required solution.

step-by-step explanation:

6 * 1/10 = 3/5

3*0.01 = 0.03

3/5 + 0.03 = .63

2*0.002 = .002

.63 + 0.002 = .632
