Question

8 gallons of chicken soup and 1 gallon of pumpkin soup have been made for lunch at the cafeteria a Soup Bowl holds 8 fluid ounces how many bowls of soup can be served in total

Answer 1

Answer: Hence, there are 18 bowls needed to served in total.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of gallons of chicken soup = 8

Number of gallons of pumpkin soup = 1

Quantity that a Soup Bowl holds = 8 fluid ounces

As we know that

`1\ fluid\ ounce=0.0625\ gallons\\\\8\ fluid\ ounces=8* 0.0625\\\\8\ fluid\ ounces=0.5\ gallon`

Now, Number of bowls is needed for chicken soup is given by

`(8)/(0.5)=16`

Number of bowls is needed for pumpkin soup is given by

`(1)/(0.5)=2`

Hence, there are 16+2=18 bowls needed to served in total.
