Question

You store brown stock in 1 gallon batches. one serving of braised greens requires 1.5 cups of brown stock. how many servings of greens can be made with one batch of brown stock? A. 10 B. 24 C. 10.67 D. 11

Answer 1

With a gallon (16 cups) of brown stock, you can make approximately 10.67 servings of braised greens, each requiring 1.5 cups of stock. So, you can prepare 10 full servings with a small leftover.

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the question, first ensure you're using the same units. A gallon consists of 16 cups, so one batch of brown stock is really 16 cups. Each serving requires 1.5 cups of that stock. If you have 16 cups and each serving uses up 1.5 cups, you need to find out how many 1.5 cup servings fit within 16 cups. You do this by dividing the total amount of stock (16 cups) by the amount needed for each serving (1.5 cups). This results in approximately 10.67 servings. So, you can make 10 full servings and have a small amount of stock left over. Therefore, the correct answer is C. 10.67. In practical terms, since you can't have .67 of a serving, you would be able to prepare 10 servings with a bit stock left over.
