A caterer makes 15 3/4 quarts of tomato soup. He pours 2 cups of soup into each bowl. How many quarts of soup are in each bowl?

Sindrei [870]

ANSWER:

There are 0.5 quarts in each bowl. There are 31 fully filled bowls. And left over soup is 1 cup of soup.

SOLUTION:

Given, a caterer makes $15 \frac{3}{4}$ which is equal to $\frac{63}{4}$ quarts of tomato soup.

He pours 2 cups of soup into each bowl.

Now let us find how many quarts of soup are in each bowl?

We know that, 1 us liquid quart equals to 4 us cups.

Then, 1 quart = 4 cups

1 cup = $\frac{1}{4}$ quarts

Here, in each bowl caterer pours two cups,

So, 2 cups = $2 \times \frac{1}{4}$ quarts

$= \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 quarts$

Hence, there are 0.5 quarts in each bowl.

Now let us find how many 2-cup bowls of soup can the caterer fill to the top?

From above part, we know that, each bowl has 0.5 quarts.

Then, total bowls with 2- cups of soup = $\frac{\text {total soup}}{\text {soup in one bowl}}$

$=\frac{\frac{63}{4}}{\frac{1}{2}}$

$=\frac{63}{4} \times \frac{2}{1}$$=\frac{63}{2}$$=31.5$$

Here, 0.5 means that a bowl which is not filled to the top. So there are 31 fully filled bowls.

Now, let us find how many cups of soup are left over?

From above part we saw that, there are 31 fully filled bowls but there is a bowl with 0.5 quarts and which is not fully filled.

So, it is the amount of soup which is left over. i.e. 0.5 times of a bowl.

We know that, each bowl will have two cups.

Here left over bowl has half of it filled with soup

So the left over soup is 1 cup of soup.

It’s 3 loads and $195 because you multiply 52 by 2 to get the total amount of bricks and then you divide 104 by 45 and you have a remainder of 14 which would be the last load and then divide 65 or whatever the price of the load of bricks to get 195

Find the zeros : x(x^2+13x+40)

Ksju [112]

The zeros are x= 0,-5,-8. the zeros are the x values where the graph intersects the x-axis. to find the zeros, you have to replace y with zero then solve for x.

Solve for x in 2 - 3(x + 4) = 8

AysviL [449]

Answer:

x = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

2 - 3(x + 4) = 8

=> 3(x + 4) = 2 - 8 = -6

=> x + 4 = -6/3 = -2

=> x = -2 - 4 = -6
