Question

8 gallons of chicken soup and 1 gallon of pumpkin soup have been made for lunch at the cafeteria a Soup Bowl holds 8 fluid ounces how many bowls of soup can be served in total

Answer 1

Answer: Hence, there are 18 bowls needed to served in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of gallons of chicken soup = 8

Number of gallons of pumpkin soup = 1

Quantity that a Soup Bowl holds = 8 fluid ounces

As we know that

$1\ fluid\ ounce=0.0625\ gallons\\\\8\ fluid\ ounces=8\times 0.0625\\\\8\ fluid\ ounces=0.5\ gallon$

Now, Number of bowls is needed for chicken soup is given by

$\frac{8}{0.5}=16$

Number of bowls is needed for pumpkin soup is given by

$\frac{1}{0.5}=2$

Hence, there are 16+2=18 bowls needed to served in total.
