wait i got the answer! Thanks tho :)

Answer 4

Angela drinks 1/4 of the milk and 1/6 of coffee and that makes her 8 ounce mixture

So assuming you have three more family members with that same combination

1/4 and 1/6
1/4 and 1/6
1/4 and 1/6

you'd be left with 2/6 coffee left which means someone has some other combination so maybe let's split the 1/4th into half and that would make the amount of coffee double so that way we still have an 8 ounce mixture?

1/4 and 1/6
1/8 and 2/6
1/8 and 2/6

and including Angela's original 1/4 and 1/6

we get a total of 3/4 and 6/6

so that doesn't work out either hmm

Answer 5

if we made it into an equation mhmm

Angela drinks m milk and c coffee

m + c = 8

and then

m/4 + c/6 should equal something

Answer 6

4m+6c=8n
m+c=8-->m=8-c
2m+3c=4n-->16+c=4n
multiple of 4 between 16 and 24 is 20/4=5
heres how i did it

Answer 7

so if she drank 1/4th of the milk, then the entire milk was 4m

and likewise 6c

4m + 6c = 8 * number of people

Answer 8

aha, I was on the right track

Thank you!!

I decided to search up your question to see if there were similar problems out there and apparently there's multiple ways to solve this
