Question

Solve this service problem.

Number of dinners = 115
Individual portion = 6 oz.
Size of can = 32 oz.
Number of cans required =   cans

Answer 1

115 * 6 = 690 ounces

690 ounces / 32 ounces = 21. 56
Number of cans required = 22

Answer 2

22 cans.

Explanation:

First of all let us figure out amount of oz needed for 115 diners by multiplying 115 by amount of oz for an individual portion.

`\text{Total amount of oz required}=115* 6\text{ oz}`

`\text{Total amount of oz required}=690\text{ oz}`

Now let us divide total amount of ounces needed by size of can to find the total number of cans required.

`\text{Total number of cans required}=\frac{690\text{ oz}}{32\text{ oz}}`

`\text{Total number of cans required}=21.5625\approx 22`

Therefore, the number of cans required is 22 cans.
