Answer 1

Answer: Cory can serve 32 drinks for parent night.

Step by step solution:

We need to have the same units, so first, start by converting the gallons to ounces:

1 gallon = 128 ounces

There are two 1-gallon jugs of juice, in total = 2 gallons of juice = 256 ounces of juice

$2gallons\times\frac{128\text{ ounces}}{1\text{gallon}}=256\text{ ounces}$

Each cup can hold 8 ounces of juice. Divide the total ounces by 8.

$\frac{256}{8}=32$

Cory can serve 32 drinks for parent night.
