There are 20 guest at a party. The hody has 8 gallons of punch . He estimates that each guest will drink 2 cups of punch. If his estimate is correct how much punch will be left over at the end of the party?

Answer 1

Answer:

At the end of the party 5.5 gallons or 88 cups of punch will be leftover.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

There are 20 guest at a party.

Now, to find the quantity of punch that will be leftover.

Number of guests = 20.

Total gallons of punch = 8.

Now, using conversion factor we change gallons into cups:

1 gallon = 16 cup.

So, 8 gallons = 16 × 8 = 128 cups.

Thus, total cups of punch = 128.

Total number of cups each guest will drink = 2.

Now, to get total number of cups the 20 guests will drink by multiplying:

$20\times 2$

$=40\ cups.$

Total number of cups the 20 guests will drink = 40.

So, to get the leftover punch we subtract the total number of cups the 20 guests will drink from total cups of punch:

$128-40\\\\=88\ cups.$

So, 88 cups = $88\div 16=5.5\ gallons.$

Therefore, at the end of the party 5.5 gallons or 88 cups of punch will be leftover.
