Question

Jessica is making punch. She mixes 132 ounces of juice and 15 cups of seltzer. How many 6-ounce glasses can she fill?

Answer 1

Hello! First, we have to convert these measurements:

132 ounces of juice

1 cup = 8 ounces

1 ounces = 0.2 glasses

Now, let's convert this:

15 cups of seltzer = 15 * 8 = 120 ounces of seltzer

In total, the mix is 132 + 120 = 152 ounces of mix

Now, we want to know how many 6-ounce glasses can she fill, and to find the value, we will divide the total of the mix by 0.2 (each glass). Look:

`(152)/(0.2)=760\text{ glasses}`
