I assume that there is a typo and the answer would be 5 pounds × 4 gallons which equals 20

Answer:

20 pounds

Explanation:

As per the question , the ice cream shop needs 5 pounds of strawberries for every gallon of strawberry ice cream and the shop choose to produce 4 gallons of ice cream ,

So, we get the following information:

Quantity of chocolate ice cream produced by the shop = 4 gallons

Quantity of strawberries required for each gallon of ice cream = 5 pounds

Therefore,

Pounds of strawberries required to be purchased by the shop = Quantity of chocolate ice cream produced by the shop
* Quantity of strawberries required for each gallon of ice cream

= 4
* 5

= 20 pounds .
