Question

Jenna used 32 cups of a recipe to make lunch for a party. If Jenna made half a recipe of punch, how many quarts of fruit punch did she make?

Answer 1

She make 4 Quarts of fruit punch.

Explanation:

Given:

Jenna used 32 cups of a recipe to make lunch for a party.

Now, to find how many quarts of punch she make if she made half recipe of punch.

Jenna used 32 cups of recipe but she made a half only.

So, half recipe = 1/2 of 32 = 1/2 × 32 = 16 cups.

Now, to get the quarts of punch we need to convert the quantities.

1 Quart = 4 cups.

So, if 4 cups = 1 quart.

Then 16 cups = (16 ÷ 4) quarts

= 4 quarts.

Therefore, she make 4 Quarts of fruit punch.
