Question

Mario is making dinner for 8 people. Mario buys 6 containers of soup. Each container is 16 ounces. If everyone gets the same amount of soup, how much soup will each person get?

Answer 1

Each person gets 12 ounces.

Explanation:

If we have 6 containers with 16 ounces in each, in total, we have 96 ounces. (16*6=96)

Now we have to divide the ounces evenly

96/8= 12

Each person gets 12 ounces, to check your work multiply your answer (12) by the amount of people (8) and see if you get you're overall ounces (96)

12*8=96

Hope this helps :))

Answer 2

They would get 12oz of soup

Explanation:

First, you would do 16x6 because you want to find the total amount of soup you have.

Next, after finding how much you have in total 96oz you then divide by how many people in this case is 8 then you get your answer.
