The teapot holds 8 1/4 cups of water. 5 3/4 cups of boiled water was used to make tea for breakfast. how much water is left in the kettle?

1. From the data presented in the problem statement, we know that initially there were 8 1/4 cups of water in the teapot.
2. We also know that 5 3/4 cups of water were used to make tea for breakfast, so we can determine how many cups of water are left in the kettle after breakfast. To do this, we need to calculate the difference between the specified values.
8 1/4 – 5 3/4 = (8 – 5) + (1/4 – 3/4) = 3 – 2/4 = 2 2/4 = 2 1/2 cups of water.
Answer: After breakfast, 2 1/2 cups of water remain in the kettle.
