A teacher brings 3 gallons of juice on a field trip. There are 36 students on the trip.
a. How many fluid ounces of juice does the teacher bring? Show your work.
b. Does the teacher have enough juice to give each student a 12-fluid ounce glass of juice? Explain.
I think no because she only has 192fluid ounces so she can only feed 16 students
I AM NOT SURE BELL TELL ME THE ANSWER
3 gallons = 12 quarts = 24 pints of 16 oz each
so
24*16 = 384 oz total
384 /12 = 32
damon made this
a. To convert gallons to fluid ounces, we need to multiply the number of gallons by 128 (since there are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon).
3 gallons * 128 fluid ounces/gallon = 384 fluid ounces
Therefore, the teacher brings 384 fluid ounces of juice.
b. If each student requires a 12-fluid ounce glass of juice, we need to multiply the number of students by 12, as each student requires 12 fluid ounces.
36 students * 12 fluid ounces/student = 432 fluid ounces
Since the teacher only has 384 fluid ounces of juice, she does not have enough juice to give each student a 12-fluid ounce glass of juice.
a. To find out how many fluid ounces of juice the teacher brings, we need to multiply the number of gallons by the conversion factor.
1 gallon is equal to 128 fluid ounces.
So, to convert 3 gallons into fluid ounces, we can multiply 3 by 128.
3 gallons * 128 fluid ounces/gallon = 384 fluid ounces
Therefore, the teacher brings 384 fluid ounces of juice.
b. To see if the teacher has enough juice to give each student a 12-fluid ounce glass of juice, we need to divide the total fluid ounces of juice by the amount of juice each student needs.
Total fluid ounces of juice = 384 fluid ounces
Fluid ounces of juice per student = 12 fluid ounces
To find the number of students the teacher can serve with the available juice, we can divide the total fluid ounces of juice by the fluid ounces of juice per student.
384 fluid ounces / 12 fluid ounces = 32 students
Since there are 36 students on the trip, and the teacher can only serve 32 students with the available juice, we can conclude that the teacher does not have enough juice to give each student a 12-fluid ounce glass.
