Question

Last year, Chelsea made 64 one-cup servings of soup for a school party. This year she will make four times the amount of soup that she made last year. How many gallons of soup will Chelsea make this year?​

Answer 1

Chelsea made 16 gallons of soup this year

Solution:

Given that,

Last year, Chelsea made 64 one-cup servings of soup for a school party

We know that,

1 gallon = 16 cups

Therefore,

4 gallons = 64 cups

Thus last year she made 4 gallons of soup

This year she will make four times the amount of soup that she made last year.

Gallons of soup made this year = four times the amount of soup that she made last year

Gallons of soup made this year = 4 x 4 = 16

Thus Chelsea made 16 gallons of soup this year
