Question

Last year, Ariq made a 6-1 cup servings of soup for a party this year he will make 8 times the amount of soup that he made last year how many gallons of soup will he make this year?

Answer 1

The number of gallons of soup will he make this year is 3 gallons

Explanation:

No of 1 cup servings made by Ariq last year = 6

Suppose last year he made x 1 cup servings

Hence this year he will make 8x, 1 cup servings

Since last year he made 6, 1 cup serving

Therefore

This year 8x, 1 cup servings

= 8×6

=48, 1 cup servings

Now

1 gallon of soup=16 cups

Therefore

48 cup servings will be

=
`(48)/(16)`= 3 gallons

The number of gallons of soup will he make this year is 3 gallons

Answer 2

3 gallons

Explanation:

Last year, Ariq made a 6 1-cup servings of soup for a party.

This year he will make 8 times the amount of soup that he made last year, so he will make

`8\cdot 6=48` 1-cup servings of soup.

In total, 48 cups of soup.

Note that

1 gallon = 16 cups,

then

48 cups is equal to

`48 :16=3` gallons
