Alyssa is making iced tea for a family picnic. She wants to make sure that each person can have at least 2 cups. If there are 30 people coming to the picnic, how many gallons of iced tea should Alyssa make?
30 people*2cups/people*1quart/4cups*1gal/4qts= 30*2/16=60/16 gallons
To find out how many gallons of iced tea Alyssa should make, we need to determine the total number of cups required first.
Since Alyssa wants to make sure that each person can have at least 2 cups, we multiply the number of people by 2.
30 people * 2 cups/person = 60 cups
Now, we need to convert the number of cups into gallons.
There are 16 cups in a gallon, so we divide 60 cups by 16 to get the total number of gallons.
60 cups / 16 cups/gallon = 3.75 gallons
Therefore, Alyssa should make 3.75 (which can be rounded up to 4) gallons of iced tea for the family picnic.
