The class is having a Valentine Party. Each student will get an 8-oz. cup of cola. How many 64-oz bottles must be bought for a class of 30 students?
(Answer)64 divded by 8= 8
1 bottle will supply 8 students. There are a total of 30 student 64 x 4 = 256
256 divided by 30 = 8 with a remainder of 16. theferefore it would take 4 64 oz bottles to supply 30 students.
Right.
To calculate the number of 64-oz bottles needed for a class of 30 students, we need to divide the total volume required by the volume of each bottle.
1. Convert the 8-oz cups to ounces: Since each student will get an 8-oz cup of cola, the total volume required for the class is 8 oz x 30 students = 240 oz.
2. Determine how many students can be supplied with one 64-oz bottle: Divide the volume of one bottle (64 oz) by the volume required per student (8 oz).
64 oz ÷ 8 oz = 8 students
3. Calculate the number of bottles needed: Divide the total volume required for the class (240 oz) by the number of students per bottle (8 students) obtained in step 2.
240 oz ÷ 8 students = 30 oz
Since each bottle can supply 8 students, we need to divide 240 oz by 8 students to find out how many bottles are required.
240 oz ÷ 8 students = 30 bottles
Therefore, you would need to buy 30 bottles of the 64-oz cola to supply the class of 30 students.
