Question

1)fred eats 4 cups of brain flavored tofu each day. how many gallons does he eat every week?

Answer 1

Answer: 1) 28 cups; 2)1.6 $\frac{tablespoons}{minute}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) - As you know, there are 7 days in a week.

- Then, if Fred eats 4 cups of brain flavored tofu each day, you can calculate the amount he eats every week (which you can call $x$) by multiplying 4 cups by 7:

$x=(4cups)(7)\\x=28cups$

- Convert the result from cups to gallons:

$x=(28cups)(\frac{0.0625gallons}{1cup})\\x=1.75gallons$

2) - There are 60 minutes in an hour.

- Karen eats 3 pints of ice cream in an hour, therefore, she eats 3 pints in 60 minutes.

- You need to divide 3 pints by 60 minutes to calculate the amount she eats in an hour (which you can call $y$) by dividing 3 pints by 60 minutes:

$y=\frac{3pints}{60minutes}$

$y=0.05\frac{pints}{minute}$

- Convert the result to tablespoons:

$y=(0.05pints)(\frac{32tablespoons}{1pint}=1.6tablespoons}$

 - The answer is: $1.6\frac{tablespoons}{minute}$
