Question

One package of soup mix makes 96 centiliters of soup. If 1.2 deciliters of soup equals one serving, how many servings will five packages of the soup mix make?

Answer 1

1 cl = 0.1 dl
12 cl = 1.2 dl

96 ÷ 12 = 8

8 x 5 = 40

5 packets of soup will make 40 servings!

Answer 2

40 servings

Explanation:

There are 10 centiliters in 1 deciliter. This means each package of soup mix makes

96/10 = 9.6 deciliters of soup.

Five packages of soup mix would then make

5(9.6) = 48 deciliters of soup.

Since 1 serving is 1.2 deciliters, this means 5 packages would have

48/1.2 = 40 servings.
