Ashley has 24 quarts of fruit punch. She is having a party at her house and wants to give each guest a cup of punch. If there is no punch left over, how many cups of punch did she give to her guests?
Bonus: If each guest got a cup, how many guests were there?
You are converting quarts (larger) to cups (smaller) because each guest at Ashley's party needs a cup of fruit punch, but the jug is measured in quarts, and nobody needs a quart of punch, that's a lot.
The answer: There are 4 cups in a quart, so 24 quarts is equal to 96 quarts. (You would multiply 24 by 4) The bonus: if each guest got a cup and there were 92 cups, there were 92 guests.
If you would like to know how far did Mackenzie run in one hour, you can calculate this using the following steps: 26 1/5 = 131/5 miles ... 5 4/5 = 29/5 hoursx miles = ? ... 1 hour 131/5 * 1 = 29/5 * x131/5 = 29/5 * xx = 131/5 * 5/29x = 131/29x = 4 15/29 miles The correct result would be 4 15/29 miles.
