Question

A punch recipe call for 2 1/2 qt orange juice. William needs to make 5 times as much punch for a banquet. Will he have enough orange juice if he buys 4 gallons? Explain and show working

Answer 1

YES, Jen will have enough because 2.5 * 5=12.5 (quarts) If there’s 4 quarts in 1 gallon, then we divide 12.5/4=3.125 (gallons). So buying 4 gallons would cover the 3.125 gallons needed.
