If a recipe calls for 6 cups of juice for each of the eight punch bowls, how many gallons of juice will be needed?
6 * 8 = 48 cups
1 gallon = 16 cups
48 / 16 = ______ gallons of juice
67
To determine how many gallons of juice are needed, we will follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the total number of cups of juice required.
Since each punch bowl requires 6 cups of juice, we will calculate the total cups by multiplying the number of punch bowls (8) by the cups per bowl (6).
Total cups of juice = 8 punch bowls * 6 cups per bowl = 48 cups of juice
Step 2: Convert cups to gallons.
To convert cups to gallons, we need to divide the total cups by the number of cups in a gallon. There are 16 cups in a gallon.
Total gallons of juice = Total cups of juice / cups per gallon = 48 cups / 16 cups = 3 gallons
Therefore, to cater to 8 punch bowls, you would need 3 gallons of juice.
