Question

Mario is making dinner for nine people. Mario by six containers of soup. Each container is 18 ounces. If everyone gets the same amount as to how much to put each person get? How can you solve a simpler problem to help you find a solution?

Answer 1

Amount of soup in each container = 18 ounces

Total number of containers of soup = 6 containers

So, total amount of soup in 6 containers =
`6 * 18`

= 108 ounces

Total amount of soup for 9 people = 108 ounces

So, amount of soup for 1 people =
`108 / 9`

= 12

So, each person will get 12 ounces of soup.
