Question

Last year, Jia made 32 one-cup servings of soup for a school party. This year she will make two times the amount of soup that she made last year. How many gallons of soup will Jia make this year? *

Answer 1

4 gallons

Explanation:

We first need to find how many cups she will make this year.

She made two times last year's amount, so that will be:

2 * 32 = 64 cups

Let us convert cups to gallons:

1 cup = 0.0625 gallons

64 cups = 64 * 0.0625 = 4 gallons

She will make 4 gallons this year.
