If each cup of unpopped kernels makes 3 cups of popped corn, how many quarts of popped corn will a 16 ounce of kernels make?
Please help me.
1 cup = 8 ounces
2 cups = 16 ounces
2 * 3 = 6 cups = 1.5 quarts
Thank you
You're welcome.
Sure! To solve this problem, you need to convert ounces to cups and then convert cups to quarts. Here's how:
Step 1: Convert 16 ounces to cups.
To convert ounces to cups, you need to know that there are 8 fluid ounces in a cup. Therefore, 16 ounces would be equivalent to 16/8 = 2 cups.
Step 2: Calculate the total cups of popped corn.
If each cup of unpopped kernels makes 3 cups of popped corn and you have 2 cups of unpopped kernels, you can multiply 2 cups by 3 cups per cup to get the total cups of popped corn.
2 cups * 3 cups/cup = 6 cups
Step 3: Convert cups to quarts.
To convert cups to quarts, you need to know that there are 4 cups in a quart. Therefore, divide the total cups of popped corn by 4 to get the equivalent quarts.
6 cups / 4 cups/quart = 1.5 quarts
So, a 16 ounce bag of kernels will make approximately 1.5 quarts of popped corn.
