Upon searching for your question, I believe there are 8 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] cups, and not 814 cups.

Answer: 6 [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] cups of water

Step-by-step explanation:

    First, we will turn 12 ounces into units of cups.

         12 / 8 = 1.5 cups

    Now, we will subtract the start of the month from the end of the month.

         8.25 cups - 1.5 cups = 6.75 cups

   Lastly, we will turn it into a mixed number.

         .75 = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

         6 [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] cups

     6 [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] cups of water were added to the barrel during the month.
