Question

The Marrieds are planning to serve 380 guests at a breakfast event. They plan to serve tomato juice, which comes in 46 oz. cans. Assuming they plan to serve each guest a 5 oz. portion and that there are 12 cans in a case, how many cases of tomato juice will they need?

Answer 1

Approx 4 cases of tomato juice.

Explanation:

The Marrieds are planning to serve 380 guests at a breakfast event.

Each guest serve = 5 oz

Total number of juice of oz = 5 x 380

= 1900 oz

In 1 can = 46 oz

In 1 case = 12 can

In 1 case = 12 x 46

= 552 oz

In 552 oz = 1 case

In 1 oz = 1/552 case

In 1900 oz
`=(1)/(552)* 1900`

`=3.44\approx 4`

Hence, Approx 4 cases of tomato juice.

Answer 2

Amount of tomato juice to be served = 5 x 380 = 1900 oz.

Number of cans in 1900 oz = 1900 / 46 = 41.3 cans

Number of cases containing 41.3 cans = 41.3/12 = 3.44 cases
