Many families serve each person in the family one 6-ounce glass of orange juice each morning. If they buy orange juice by the gallon, how many whole servings of juice will they get out of one gallon of juice? (One gallon = 4 quarts, and 1 quart = 32 ounces.)
To find out how many whole servings of juice you can get from one gallon, you need to convert the given information into the same units.
First, convert the gallon into ounces:
1 gallon = 4 quarts = 4 * 32 ounces = 128 ounces.
Next, determine how many servings you can get from one ounce of juice:
Since each person is served a 6-ounce glass of juice, divide the total amount of juice (in ounces) by 6:
128 ounces / 6 ounces = 21.33 servings.
Since we cannot have a fraction of a serving, we need to round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, one gallon of juice can provide 21 whole servings.
(4 * 32) / 6 = ? ... round the result down to a whole number
Answer: 6
