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? (1 quart = 32 fluid ounces, 1 gallon = 4 quarts)
1 bottle.
2 bottles
3 bottles
4 bottles

Answer 1

First, we need to know how many fluid ounces hold the 25 juice cups; for that, you have to multiply 25 by 12

25*12=300 fluid ounces

if 1 quart = .................. 32 fluid ounces
    x quarts = ...............300 fluid ounces

x= 300*1/32= 9.375 quarts

if 1 gallon =............... 4 quarts
    y gallons = ............9.375 quarts

y = 9.375*1/4 = 2.34375 gallons

You know that 1 gallon = 1 bottle but if you order just 2-gallon bottles you remain with the rest of 0.34375. In order to fill the juice cups, you need to order 3-gallon bottles even if you remain with the rest of juice.

The right answer is C. 3 bottles

Answer 2

Earl will require 2 bottles (approx.).

We have Earl who needs to fill juice cups. There are 25 juice cups and each juice cup holds 12 fluid ounces. The juice comes in 1-gallon bottles.

We have to determine how many 1 - gallon bottles are required.

If you require ' x liters ' of water to 10 cups, then how much liters of water is required to fill 1000 cups?

Now -

x liters of water can fill -  10 cups

1 cup requires - $\frac{x}{10}$ liters of water

1000 cups will need -  $\frac{x}{10} \times 1000$ = 100$x$

According to question, we have -

Amount of juice required to fill 1 cup - 12 fluid ounce.

Number of juice cups = 25

Amount of juice in 1 bottle = 1 gallon

Now -

1 gallon = 4 quarts

1 quart = 32 fluid ounces

Therefore -

1 gallon = 4 x 32 = 128 fluid ounces

Total amount of juice required to fill 25 cups = 12 x 25 = 300 fluid ounces.

1 gallon = 128 ounces

1 ounce = $\frac{1}{128}$ gallon

300 fluid ounces = $\frac{1}{128} \times 300$ = 2.34 = 2 bottles (approx.)

Hence, Earl will require 2 bottles (approx.)
