Your school recently bought 10 gallons of ice cream for an ice cream social. If each person is going to get one cup of ice cream at the social, how many people can be fed from the 10 gallons of ice cream?

Respuesta :

ANSWER:

160 people

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We can determine the number of people since we know the number of cups per gallon.

One gallon equals 16 cups, therefore:

[tex]10\text{ gallons}\cdot\frac{16\text{ cups}}{1\text{ gallons}}=160\text{ cups}[/tex]

This means that in 10 gallons there are 160 cups, this means that a total of 160 people can be fed with ice cream
