Celine is making a special gelatin dessert for the Constellation Club meeting. She plans to fill a large moon-shaped mold with 8 ounces of gelatin. She wants to use the rest of the gelatin to fill small star-shaped molds. Each star-shaped mold holds 2 ounces, and the package of gelatin she bought makes 48 ounces in all. How many star-shaped molds can Celine fill?
star-shaped molds
Celine plans to fill the large moon-shaped mold with 8 ounces of gelatin, leaving her with 48 - 8 = 40 ounces of gelatin.
Each star-shaped mold holds 2 ounces of gelatin.
Therefore, Celine can fill a total of 40 / 2 = <<40/2=20>>20 star-shaped molds. Answer: \boxed{20}.
To determine the number of star-shaped molds Celine can fill, we need to calculate the remaining gelatin after filling the large moon-shaped mold.
The total gelatin available is 48 ounces, and Celine used 8 ounces for the large moon-shaped mold. Therefore, the remaining gelatin is 48 - 8 = 40 ounces.
Each star-shaped mold requires 2 ounces of gelatin. To find out how many star-shaped molds can be filled, we need to divide the remaining gelatin (40 ounces) by the amount of gelatin needed for each star-shaped mold (2 ounces):
Number of star-shaped molds = Remaining gelatin / Gelatin needed per star-shaped mold
= 40 / 2
= 20
Therefore, Celine can fill 20 star-shaped molds.
To find out how many star-shaped molds Celine can fill, we need to determine how much gelatin is left after she fills the large moon-shaped mold.
Celine plans to fill the large moon-shaped mold with 8 ounces of gelatin. The package of gelatin she bought contains 48 ounces in total. Therefore, after filling the large moon-shaped mold, she will have 48 - 8 = 40 ounces of gelatin left.
Each star-shaped mold holds 2 ounces of gelatin. To find out how many star-shaped molds Celine can fill, we need to divide the remaining gelatin (40 ounces) by the capacity of each star-shaped mold (2 ounces):
Number of star-shaped molds = Remaining gelatin / Capacity of each star-shaped mold
Number of star-shaped molds = 40 ounces / 2 ounces
Number of star-shaped molds = 20
Therefore, Celine can fill 20 star-shaped molds with the leftover gelatin.
