A standard coffee mug has a capacity of 16 fluid ounces. If Annie needs to fill 26 mugs with coffee, how many total quarts of coffee does she need?

Multiply the amount of fluid ounces in a mug by the amount of mugs Annie needs to fill:


16 * 26 = 416

There are 32 fluid ounces in a quart. Divide the total amount of fluid ounces by the amount of fluid ounces in a quart:


416 / 32 = 13

Annie will need 13 quarts of coffee to fill the mugs.

So if you need to fill 26 cup at 16oz per cup that is 416oz but that is ounces you need quarts.

you take 416oz/32=13
(320z-1qt)
she will need 13 quarts of coffee to fill all of the cups.
