Question

A standard coffee mug has a capacity of 16 flui ounces. If Annie needs to fill 44 mugs with coffee, how many total quarts of coffee does she need?

Answer 1

Total quarts of coffee required = 22 quarts

Explanation:

Given: Capacity of a standard coffee mug is equal to 16 fluid ounces.

Number of mugs to be filled with coffee = 44

Solution: total quarts of coffee required

Volume of mug = 16 fluid ounces

As 1 quart = 32 fluid ounces,

Volume of a mug =
`(16)/(32)=(1)/(2) \,\,quarts`

So,

Total quarts of coffee required = Volume of a mug × Number of mugs to be filled with coffee

=
`(1)/(2)(44)=22\,\,quarts`
