Question

A recipe for blueberry smoothies calls for 6 cups of yogurt. How many quarts of yogurt do you need to use if 1 cup of yogurt weighs 8.6 ounces?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.6125 quart is required.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a recipe for blueberry smoothies calls for 6 cups of yogurt and 1 cup of yogurt weighs 8.6 ounces.

1 cup = 8.6 ounces

The weight of yogurt for 6 cups is

$6\times 8.6=51.6$

Total yogurt required for the recipe = 51.6 ounces

We know that

1 quart = 32 ounces

Using this conversion we get

1 ounce = $\frac{1}{32}$ quart

51.6 ounce = $\frac{1}{32}\times 51.6=1.6125$ quart

Therefore, 1.6125 quart is required.
