Final answer:
To find the quantity of peaches per cup of fruit salad, divide the total weight of peaches (15 kg) by the number of cups (100), which equals 0.15 kg or 150 grams of peaches per cup.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the quantity of peaches the school put in each fruit salad, we will use a straightforward division method. The school used 15 kilograms of peaches to make 100 cups of fruit salad. To find out how much peaches are in each cup of fruit salad, we divide the total kilograms of peaches by the number of fruit salad cups made.
- Total kilograms of peaches: 15 kg
- Total number of cups of fruit salad: 100 cups
We will now perform the division:
- 15 kg ÷ 100 cups = 0.15 kg per cup of fruit salad
Since there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram, we can convert this to grams to get a more common unit of measurement for the fruit quantity:
- 0.15 kg per cup × 1000 grams/kg = 150 grams per cup of fruit salad
Therefore, each cup of fruit salad contains 150 grams of peaches.
