Given :

Total amount of pudding made, T = 5 pounds.

Size of each cup, s = 4 ounces.

To Find :

How many total individual pudding cups can Harper make.

Solution :

Let, n number of pudding cups can filled with 5 pounds pudding.

We know, 1 pound = 16 ounces.

So, 5 pounds = 16×5 = 80 ounces.

Now,


n = (80)/(s)\\\\n = (80)/(4)\\\\n = 20 \ cups

Therefore, 20 cups can be filled with 5 pounds of pudding.
