Question

A family size container of macaroni holds sixteen 3/4 cup servings. A chef prepares meals using 1-cup bowls. How many bowls can the chef prepare from one family sized container?

Answer 1

Determine total # of cups in the container.

= 16 servings * 3/4 cups
= (16*3)/4
= 48/4
= 12 cups

Since the container holds 12 1-cup servings, the chef can prepare 12 1-cup servings.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

The answer is 12 cups.

Explanation:

A family size container of macaroni holds 16
`(3)/(4)` cup servings.

A chef prepares meals using 1-cup bowls.

So, the number of bowls, the chef can prepare from one family sized container is =
`16*(3)/(4)`

=
`4*3=12` bowls

Therefore, the answer is 12 cups.
