Question

Miriam makes 2 1 /4 gallons of punch for a school event. How many 4 ‐ounce servings of punch can she serve?

Answer 1

1 gallon = 4 quarts

1 quart = 2 pints

1 pint = 16 ounces

1 quart = 2 pints = 2(16) = 32 ounces

1 gallon = 4 quarts = 4(32) = 128 ounces

2 1/2 gallons = 2.5(128) = 320 ounces

320 ounces/4 ounces per serving = 80 servings.

Answer 2

She can serve 80 4-oz servings.

1 gallon = 4 quarts
1 quart = 2 pints
1 pint = 16 ounces

1 quart = 2 pints = 2(16) = 32 ounces
1 gallon = 4 quarts = 4(32) = 128 ounces

2 1/2 gallons = 2.5(128) = 320 ounces

320 ounces/4 ounces per serving = 80 servings.
