Question

Number of dinners = 125 Individual portion = 8 oz. Size of can = 32 oz. Number of cans required = _____. 2

Answer 1

To get total of oz for the dinner:

125 * 8 = 1000 oz

To get number of cans:

1000 ÷ 32 = 3.125 cans or at least 4 cans to served dinner

Answer 2

Number of cans required = 32

Explanation:

Number of dinners = 125

Individual portion size of each dinner = 8 oz.

Total portion size of all the dinners = 125 × 8

⇒ Total portion size of all the dinners = 1000 oz.

Size of one can = 32 oz.

`\text{Number of cans required = }\frac{\text{Total portion size of dinner}}{\text{Size of each can}}\\\\\implies\text{Number of cans required = }(1000)/(32)\approx 31.25`

Hence, Number of cans required = 32
