Question

5 An army cook wants to make pudding

for dessert. He has a recipe that calls for
2 cups of milk to make 4 servings. There
are 16 cups in a gallon. How many gallons
of milk does the cook need to make
864 servings of pudding?

Answer 1

27 gallons

Explanation:

First, multiply each number by 8, so you can get 16 cups.

16 cups to make 32 servings or 1 gallon to make 32 servings

Then find out what you multiply 32 by to get 864 by dividing 864/32 which is 27.

Now multiply the 1 gallon by 27 to get 27 gallons in 864 servings

Answer 2

27

Explanation:

First you dvide 864 by 4 to get 216. Next you multiply the 216 by 2 to find that there are 432 cups in 864 servings. Finally you divide by 16 to turn 432 cups into 27 gallons.

I hope this helps!
