Question

You have 3 gallons of brown stock. You need 6 cups to make one serving of braised short ribs. How many servings can you make?

Answer 1

Answer: 8 servings can be made

Explanation:

Concept:

As we can see from the question there are two different units applied [gallons] and [cups]; therefore, we need to do the unit conversion.

1 gallon = 16 cups

Solve:

Given there are 3 gallons of brown stock, we need to convert gallons into cups.

• 1 gallon = 16 cups
• 3 gallons = 16 × 3 = 48 cups

Then, divide 48 cups by 6 cups to find out how many servings can be made.

• 48 cups / 6 cups = 8 servings

Hope this helps!! :)
