Question

You buy tomatoes in 25-pound cases. One batch of Cobb salad requires 1.1 ounces of tomatoes. How many portions can be made with one case? Round down (don’t include partial portions).

Answer 1

363 portions can be made with one case.

Explanation:

Since I buy tomatoes in 25-pound cases, and one batch of Cobb salad requires 1.1 ounces of tomatoes, to determine how many portions can be made with one case, the following calculations must be performed:

1 pound = 16 ounces

25 pounds = 400 ounces

400 / 1.1 = 363.63

Therefore, 363 portions can be made with one case.
