Answer 1

Hey!

Hope this Helps...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We know these 2 things...

(1) We are assuming Jim needs 300 juice boxes every hour = x amount of gallons...

(2) there are 16 cups in a gallon...

Now that we know those 2 things, lets get to work...

300 / 60 = 5 juice boxes a minute

0.8 * 5 = 4 cups of juice every minute

4 * 60 = 240 cups of juice every hour

240 / 16 = 15 gallons of juice every hour

Jim needs 15 gallons of juice made every hour...

Answer 2

Jim's factory needs 15 gallons of juice per hour.

Explanation:

At Jim's juice box factory, his machine can fill juice boxes per hour = 300

Each juice box holds juice = 0.8 cups

per hour the machine can fill juices in 300 boxes = 300 × 0.8 = 240 cups

16 cups = 1 gallon

so Jim's factory need juice per hour = 240 ÷ 16 = 15 gallons

Jim's factory needs 15 gallons of juice per hour.
