Answer 1

A) The teacher brought 384 fluid ounces of juice

B)NO, the teacher doesn't have enough juice to give each student a 12-fluid ounce glass of juice

Explanation:

Given:

The total quantity of juice brought by the teacher for the field trip = 3 gallons of juice

The number of students in the field trip = 36

A)fluid ounces of juice

We know that

1 gallon = 128 fluid ounce

So we have to convert the given 3 gallons of juice to fluid ounces

3 gallons of fruit juice
`= 3 * 128` fluid ounces

3 gallons of fruit juice = 384 fluid ounces

The teacher had 384 fluid ounces of fruit juice

B. enough juice to give each student a 12-fluid ounce glass of juice

The teacher wants to give 12 fluid ounce of juice to one student

So, to give 36 students

the teacher will need

=>
`36 * 12`

=> 432 fluid ounces of juice

but the teacher has only 384 fluid ounces of juice .

Thus the teacher still needs 48 fluid ounces of juice
