2
1
4
gallons of punch for a school event.
How many
4
‐ounce servings of punch can she serve?
A.
40
B.
64
C.
70
D.
72
We need to convert the amount of punch to ounces since the serving size is given in ounces.
1 gallon = 128 ounces
Miriam makes 2 + 1/4 gallons of punch = 2 x 128 + 32 = 288 ounces of punch
Now we divide the total amount of punch by the serving size:
288 ÷ 4 = 72
Therefore, Miriam can serve 72 4-ounce servings of punch.
The answer is (D) 72
