Eli purchases a container of punch that when mixed with water, makes 640 ounces of punch. Eli has 8 ounce drinking glasses. She assumes that each person will drink 2 glasses of punch. How many people can be served with one container if punch? I said 640 divided by 8 equals 80 divided by 2 equals 40... Is that right?

Yes. You're right.

I hate math

kate made 180 ounces of punch for a party she serves the punch in 8 ounces cups how many full cups can she serve?

Yes, your calculation is correct! Let me break down the steps you took to find the answer.

1. You correctly determined that there are 640 ounces of punch in one container.
2. Next, you divided the total number of ounces (640) by the capacity of one drinking glass (8 ounces), which gives you 80. This represents the number of glasses of punch that can be filled from one container.
3. Lastly, you divided the number of glasses (80) by the number of glasses each person will drink (2), which equals 40. This result represents the number of people who can be served from one container of punch.

Therefore, you can serve 40 people with one container of punch, assuming each person will drink two glasses. Well done!

Ok. Thank you Ms.Sue!
