Question

It is so hot that Aaron's cousins beg him to make creamy mango smoothies. First, Aaron blends 5 cups of mango, 1 quart of yogurt, and 3 cups of crushed ice. Then, he divides the smoothie evenly among 6 large glasses. How many cups of smoothie does he put in each glass?

Answer 1

Aaron puts 2 cups of smoothie in each of the 6 glasses, after combining 5 cups of mango, 1 quart (equivalent to 4 cups) of yogurt, and 3 cups of crushed ice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Aaron is making creamy mango smoothies and needs to divide the total smoothie mixture among 6 glasses. To find the amount per glass, first, we need to determine the total volume of the smoothie mixture. Aaron uses 5 cups of mango, 1 quart of yogurt, and 3 cups of crushed ice. One quart is equivalent to 4 cups, so the yogurt contributes 4 cups to the mixture.

Adding it all up, we have 5 cups (mango) + 4 cups (yogurt) + 3 cups (crushed ice) = 12 cups of smoothie mixture. Now, we divide the 12 cups by the 6 glasses to find the volume per glass:

12 cups ÷ 6 glasses = 2 cups per glass.

Therefore, Aaron puts 2 cups of smoothie in each glass.
