Question

Gordon has four 23.9 ounce jars of spaghetti sauce. It takes 4.78 ounces of spaghetti sauce to make one pizza. Gordon uses all four jars of sauce, what is the maximum amount of pizzas he can make?

Answer 1

Amount of spaghetti sauce he has = 23.9 * 4 ounces

Number of pizzas he can make form this = (23.9 * 4) / 4.78 = 20 <---- Answer

Answer 2

First, we must figure out how many ounces of spaghetti sauce Gordon has in total. To do this, we should multiply the number of jars of spaghetti sauce (4) by the number of ounces in each jar (23.9).

4 * 23.9 = 95.6

To find out how many pizzas Gordon can make, we must divide the amount of spaghetti sauce that Gordon has (95.6 ounces) by the number of ounces it takes to make one pizza (4.78).

95.6/4.78 = 20

Therefore, Gordon can make 20 pizzas.

Hope this helps!
