Answer:
Situation B
Explanation:
Which situation will get you a greater number of servings? (Lesson 4)
Situation A: A 3 quart container of ice cream with a serving size of ⅔ cup.
2/3 cup = 3 quarts
1 cup = x quarts
Cross Multiply
2/3 cup × x = 1 cup × 3 quarts
x = 3 ÷ 2/3
x = 3 × 3/2
x = 9/2
x = 4 1/2 quarts
Situation B: A 4 quart container of ice cream with a serving size of ¾ cup.
3/4 cup = 4 quarts
1 cup = x quarts
Cross Multiply
3/4 cup × x = 1 cup × 4 quarts
x = 4 quarts ÷ 3/4 cups
x = 4 quarts × 4/3 cups
x = 16/3 quarts
x = 5 1/3 quarts
