Question

Keaton needs to fill juice cups for her little sister's birthday party. There are 22 juice cups and each juice cup holds 12 fluid ounces. The juice comes in 1-gallon bottles. How many 1-gallon bottles of juice will Debbie need to purchase?

(1 quart = 32 fluid ounces, 1 gallon = 4 quarts)

Answer 1

Answer: 3 Gallons

Explanation:

To find the total number of ounces she needs of juice we need to multiply the 22 cups by 12 ounces.

22 x 12 = 264

Now to find the number of quarts we need to convert the ounces into quarts by dividing by 32.

264 / 32 = 8.25

To find the number of gallons we need you have to convert it into gallons by dividing by 4.

8.25 / 4 = 2.0625

Because you cannot purchase .0625 of a gallon, we need to round up and purcahse 3.
