1. A volunteer took 3 cups and 7 quarts of a large bowl of soup home from cooking class. How much soup did this volunteer take? (Hint: There are 4 cups in a quart.)
A. 31 cups
B. 37 cups
C. 31 quarts
D. 42 quarts
2. Evelyn has 4 boxes with 8 pieces of sidewalk chalk in each box. She has 3 boxes with 9 stickers in each box. She gets 5 more pieces of sidewalk chalk from her brother. If she places EVERYTHING into a bin, how many items does she have in the bin?
A. 24
B. 55
C. 64
D. 72
1. The easy answer is 7 qts and 3 cups. Another easy answer is 7-3/4 qts. Neither are those answers is a choice.
So 7 quarts x (4 cups/qt)= 28 cups
28 cups + 3 cups extra = 31 cups.
2. 4 boxes with 8 pieces = 32
3 boxes with 9 pieces = 27
Brother gives 5 piece = 5
Aded 32 + 27 + 5 = ?
1. To solve this problem, we need to convert the amount of soup taken from quarts to cups. Since there are 4 cups in a quart, we can calculate the total number of cups as follows:
3 cups + (7 quarts * 4 cups/quart)
3 cups + 28 cups
= 31 cups
Therefore, the volunteer took 31 cups of soup.
The correct answer is A. 31 cups.
2. To find the total number of items in the bin, we need to add up the number of sidewalk chalk pieces and stickers.
First, we calculate the total number of sidewalk chalk pieces:
4 boxes * 8 pieces/box = 32 pieces
Next, we calculate the total number of stickers:
3 boxes * 9 stickers/box = 27 stickers
Lastly, we add the 5 additional sidewalk chalk pieces:
32 pieces + 5 pieces = 37 pieces
Now we add up the sidewalk chalk pieces and stickers to find the total number of items:
37 pieces + 27 stickers = 64 items
Therefore, Evelyn has 64 items in the bin.
The correct answer is C. 64.
