It's to the point that K Damon wants to make ice cream sundaes at this night's birthday party he thinks each person will eat 2 cups of ice cream and there will be 24 people is party a many one gallon tubs of ice cream should he left

Answer 1

If there are 24 people and each of them will eat 2 cups of ice cream, then there will be 48 cups of ice cream in total.

We know that 1 gallon is equivalent to 16 cups, so we form the following proportion

`\frac{1\text{gallon}}{x}=\frac{16\text{cups}}{48\text{cups}}`

Let's solve for x

`\begin{gathered} x=(48)/(16)\text{gallons} \\ x=3\text{gallons} \end{gathered}`

Hence, he should buy 3 tubs of ice cream in total.
