Question

A restaurant offers the soup of the day in 10 ounce servings. Suppose 85 customers ordered the soup of the day on Monday. To the nearest tenth, how many gallons of the soup were sold on Monday?

A) 4.8 gallons
B) 5.5 gallons
C) 6.6 gallons **
D) 7.4 gallons

Answer 1

C) 6.6 gallons

Explanation:

10oz * 85 = 850oz

There are 128 ounces in a gallon.

850/128 = 6.64

Answer 2

Answer: Option 'c' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of servings = 85

Number of ounces per serving = 10 ounce

Total number of ounces would be

`85* 10\\\\=850`

As we know that

1 gallon = 128 ounces

So, Number of gallons of the soup were sold on Monday would be \

`(850)/(128)\\\\=6.64\\\\\approx 6.6 \ gallons`

Hence, Option 'c' is correct.
