Question

Emily made a pot of cream of pumpkin soup for thanksgiving dinner. She put 5

cups of cream in the soup. She poured the soup into 24 small soup bowls. How
much cream (measured in oz.) is used for each small bowl of soup?

Answer 1

each bowl can contain 5/3 oz. of soup.

Explanation:

1 cup = 8 oz.

8 oz.

5 cups x -------------- = 40 oz.

1 cup

to get the measurement of each bowl,

40 oz. divided into 24 bowls.

therefore, each bowl can contain 5/3 oz. of soup.

Answer 2

1 2/3 ounces in each bowl

Explanation:

We need to convert 5 cups to ounces

1 cup = 8 ounces

5 cups = 5*8 = 40 ounces

We divide the 40 ounces into 24 bowls

40 ounces / 24 bowl

5/3 ounces per bowl

1 2/3 ounces in each bowl
