Sarah made 4 quarts of vegetable soup in a big pot.she served 6 different people 1 1/2 cups of soup each.how many soup is left in the pot
1 quart = 4 cups
4 quarts = _______ cups
6 * 1 1/2 = ______ cups
To calculate the amount of soup left in the pot, we need to subtract the total amount served to the 6 different people from the initial amount made by Sarah.
1. Convert 1 1/2 cups to quarts:
- 1 quart = 4 cups
- 1 1/2 cups = (4/1) * (3/2) = 6/2 = 3/2 quarts
2. Multiply the amount of soup served to each person by the number of people:
- Amount served to each person = 3/2 quarts
- Number of people = 6
- Total amount served = (3/2) * 6 = 18/2 = 9 quarts
3. Subtract the total amount served from the initial amount made:
- Initial amount made = 4 quarts
- Soup left in the pot = Initial amount made - Total amount served
- Soup left in the pot = 4 - 9 = -5 quarts
Therefore, there is -5 quarts of soup left in the pot, which means that there is no soup left in the pot.
To find out how much soup is left in the pot, we need to calculate the total amount of soup that was served to the six people and then subtract it from the initial amount of soup that Sarah made.
First, let's find out how much soup was served to each person:
1 1/2 cups of soup per person x 6 people = 9 cups of soup served in total.
Now, let's convert the 9 cups into quarts since Sarah made the soup in quarts:
1 quart = 4 cups
9 cups ÷ 4 cups/quart = 2.25 quarts
So, a total of 2.25 quarts of soup were served to the six people.
Finally, let's subtract the amount served from the initial amount:
4 quarts - 2.25 quarts = 1.75 quarts
Therefore, there is 1.75 quarts of soup left in the pot.
