Question

A recipe for 8 servinfs of pudding clls for 2 cups of milk.How many gallons of milk are needed to make enough pudding for 64 servings

Answer 1

In order to solve this, we first need to know what the ratio of servings of pudding to cups of milk is. We can see that 8 servings of pudding requires 2 cups of milk, so the ratio is 8/2, which can be reduced to 4/1. This means that for every 4 servings of pudding, we will be adding 1 cup of milk. So all we need to do to find out how many cups would be needed for 64 servings of pudding, we simply need to divide by 4.

64 / 4 = 16

So for 64 servings of pudding, we will need 16 cups of milk. But that's not what the question wants to know, it wants to know how many gallons of milk it would need. 

In order to find that out, we have to know how many cups there are in one gallon. There are 2 cups in one pint, there are 2 pints in a quart, and there are 4 quarts in a gallon, so we just have to multiply those numbers, and we get 4 * 2 * 2 = 8 * 2 = 16

There are 16 cups in one gallon, therefore, 64 servings of pudding will require 1 gallon of milk.
Hope that helped! =)
