Answer:

60 people

Explanation:

Bowls of Punch = 6

Each bowl holds 2 1/2 gallons of punch

6 bowls = 2 1/2 gallons × 6

= 5/2 × 6 gallons

= 30/2

= 15 gallons

6 bowls of Punch = 15 gallons of Punch

1 gallon = 4 quarts

15 gallons = 4 × 15 quarts

= 60 quarts

6 bowls of Punch = 15 gallons of Punch = 60 quarts of punch

She thinks each person will drink about 1 quart of punch.

How many people will the 6 bowls of punch serve?

6 bowls of Punch = 15 gallons of Punch = 60 quarts of punch

60 quarts of punch / 1 person

= 60 people

The 6 bowls of punch will serve 60 people
