Question

Earl needs to fill juice cups for his little brother's birthday party. There are 25 juice cups and each juice cup holds 12 fluid ounces. The juice comes in 1-gallon bottles. How many 1-gallon bottles of juice will Earl need to purchase? (2 points) (1 quart = 32 fluid ounces, 1 gallon = 4 quarts) 1 bottle 2 bottles 3 bottles 4 bottles

Answer 1

3 bottles

Explanation:

Hello!

First, we find out how many fluid ounces 25 cups of juice hold.

One cup holds 12 fluid ounces so to find 25 we do

25 * 12 = 300 fluid ounces

Next, we find out how many fluid ounces one gallon holds.

One gallon is 4 quarts.

1 quart is 32 fluid ounces so to find how many 4 holds we do

32 * 4 = 128

So one gallon holds 128 fluid ounces

To find how many we need we divide the total needed by how much one bottle holds

300/128 = 2.34

You can't buy exactly 2.34 bottles of juice so we round up to the nearest whole number we will just have extra leftover

The answer is 3 bottles

Hope this helps!
