Answer:

1800 sq ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount of space in the garage.

We know that he is estimating 6 sq ft per person, for 15 people; this gives us

6(15) = 90 sq ft.

This is 5% of the total, x; 5% = 5/100 = 0.05; this gives us 0.05x.

Together these give us the equation

0.05x = 90

Divide both sides by 0.05:

0.05x/0.05 = 90/0.05

x = 1800

Which measurements for the capacity of the ice cream carton?
nalin [4]

Answer:

  • 1 cup
  • 1 gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

In retail grocery stores in the US, you can find ice cream packaged in sizes of 1 cup (half pint), 1 pint, 1 quart, 1/2 gallon, 1 gallon, and perhaps some odd sizes in between. For commercial purposes, ice cream may be packaged in tubs of 3- or 5-gallons or more.

1 teaspoon would be an unusually small size, and 1 mL is about 1/5 of a teaspoon. These quantities are somewhat smaller than would be considered a "serving" of ice cream, so would generally be of little practical use.
