Answer:
You have 112 cups of beverage
Step-by-step explanation:
* <em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>
- You need to supply at least 120 cups of beverage to provide enough
for the projected number of people that will attend
- <em><u>Assume that a cup can fill by 8 fl. oz. (American standard)</u></em>
- <em>You have received the following donations</em>
- Enough mix to make 4 gallons of lemonade
∴ You have 4 gallons of lemonade
∵ 1 gallon = 128 oz.
∴ 8 gallons = 4 × 128 = 512 oz.
∴ You have 512 oz. of lemonade
∵ You can fill one cup by 8 oz.
∴ The number of cups of lemonade = 512 ÷ 8 = 64 cups
- 6 bottles of fruit juice that each contain 64 fl. oz
∵ 6 × 64 = 384
∴ You have 384 oz. of fruit juice
∵ You can fill one cup by 8 oz.
∴ The number of cups of fruit juice = 384 ÷ 8 = 48 cups
- <em>Now add the number of lemonade cups to the number of fruit</em>
<em> juice cups</em>
∵ There are 64 of lemonade cups
∵ There are 48 fruit juice cups
∴ The total number of cups = 64 + 48 = 112 cups
* You have 112 cups of beverage
