Question

Mrs. Thomas made 31⁄2 gallons of tea for the family reunion. She estimates that each of the 17 family members will drink about 3 cups of tea that day. Did she prepare enough?

Answer 1

Answer is YES. She prepared enough

Step by step

There are 16 cups in 1 gallon

3.5 gallons tea made x 16 cups per gallon = 56 cups total tea made

17 family members will drink 3 cups each
17 x 3 = 51 cups she needs for the reunion

So yes, she made 56 cups and only needs 51 so she made enough
