At a fair milk sales total 20,000 gallons.
If the fair runs for 10 days what would be the average number of gallons sold each day?
Then how many 8 ounce cups per day would that be?
Lastly, if 1 cup of milk costs $1.25 about how much money per day is made in milk sales?
20,000 / 10 = 2,000 gallons a day
1 gallon = 16 cups
2,000 * 16 * 1.25 = $_______ per day
I'm not sure I understand how to get how many 8 ounce cups per day that would be...
1 cup = 8 ounces
A gallon has 16 eight-ounce cups
Please could you tell me if I have letter b and letter c correctly answered? Thank you!
b. 2000 gallons x 4 quarts x 4 cups = 32,000 8-oz cups
c. 32,000 x $1.25 = $40,000 is made per day in milk sales
To find the average number of gallons sold each day, we need to divide the total number of gallons sold (20,000 gallons) by the number of days the fair runs (10 days).
Average number of gallons sold each day = Total number of gallons sold / Number of days
= 20,000 gallons / 10 days
= 2000 gallons per day
To find the number of 8-ounce cups per day, we need to convert the gallons per day to cups per day.
1 gallon = 128 ounces, so 2000 gallons per day would be:
2000 gallons per day * 128 ounces per gallon = 256,000 ounces per day
Since there are 8 ounces in a cup, we can calculate the number of cups per day:
256,000 ounces per day / 8 ounces per cup = 32,000 cups per day
Therefore, there would be approximately 32,000 8-ounce cups sold per day.
To find out how much money per day is made in milk sales, we need to multiply the number of cups sold per day (32,000 cups) by the cost of 1 cup of milk ($1.25).
Money made in milk sales per day = Number of cups sold per day * Cost of 1 cup of milk
= 32,000 cups per day * $1.25 per cup
= $40,000 per day
Therefore, approximately $40,000 would be made in milk sales per day.
