Question

savannah decides to pack hot cocoa mix for her scouting troops next camping trip. she wants to bring enough for the 16 scouts to have 2 cups of hot cocoa each . if the container of hot cocoa mix says to use 3 tablespoons per cup , how many ounces of mix should savannah bring?

Answer 1

She should bring 48 ounces bc she has 16 scouts and each of them need 2 cups so: 2x16=32 so that means there are 32 cups in total and now you need 3 tbs per cup so: 3x32=96 so that means you will need 96 tbs of mix in total now you transfer units from tbs to ounces and since half an ounce is one tbs you divide by two: 96➗2=48
