Question

You and your friend are having party. You are expecting 12 guests at this party. You would like everyone to have 4/5 of a cup of juice. How many cups of juice will you need to purchase for the party?

Answer 1

The number of cups needed for the party are 10.

Explanation:

We are given that,

Total number of guests expected = 12

The amount of juice per person =
`(4)/(5)` cups

So, the number of cups needed to purchase for the party is given by,

Number of cups =
`(4)/(5)* 12`

i.e. Number of cups =
`(48)/(5)`

i.e. Number of cups = 9.6 ≈ 10 cups

Hence, the number of cups needed for the party are 10.
