Question

Thirty six ounces of juice will serve 6 students. how many children can be served with 162 ounces?

Answer 1

27 children

Explanation:

To find out how many children can be served with 162 ounces of juice, you can set up a proportion based on the information given:

36 ounces of juice serve 6 students.

Let x represent the number of students that can be served with 162 ounces of juice.

So, you can set up the proportion:

36/6 = 162/x

Now, cross-multiply and solve for x:

36x = 6 * 162

36x = 972

Now, divide both sides by 36 to isolate x:

x = 972 / 36

x = 27

So, 162 ounces of juice can serve 27 children.
