Question

A recipe for blueberry smoothies calls for 6 cups of yogurt. How many quarts of yogurt do you need to use if 1 cup of yogurt weighs 8.6 ounces?

Answer 1

1.6125 quart is required.

Explanation:

It is given that a recipe for blueberry smoothies calls for 6 cups of yogurt and 1 cup of yogurt weighs 8.6 ounces.

1 cup = 8.6 ounces

The weight of yogurt for 6 cups is

`6* 8.6=51.6`

Total yogurt required for the recipe = 51.6 ounces

We know that

1 quart = 32 ounces

Using this conversion we get

1 ounce =
`(1)/(32)` quart

51.6 ounce =
`(1)/(32)* 51.6=1.6125` quart

Therefore, 1.6125 quart is required.
