A school party has 120 children and each child willbe given 4 peanut butter balls. How many cups of peanut butter must be used in order to make exactly enough4peanut butter balls for the children at the party?O 10O 12O 18O 24

Answer 1

Firstly, let's find out how many peanutt balls we need.

Since there are 120 children, and since each will receive 4 peanut butter balls, we need 4 times as many:

`4\cdot120=480`

Since each receipt makes 40 peanut butter balls, we can divide the total by 40 to know how many receipt quantities we will need:

`(480)/(40)=(48)/(4)=12`

That is, we will need 12 times the quantities in one receipt to make all the peanut butter balls we need.

1 receipt need 1 1/2 cups of peanut butter, that is the same as one and one half, or 1.5.

12 times that is the total we will need:

`12\cdot1.5=18`

That is, we need a total of 18 cups of peanut butter, third alternative.
