Question

How many servings of tomato soup can be obtained from a 5-gallon kettle, using a  -cup ladle?
A) 80 servings 
B) 106 servings 
C) 53 servings 
D) 60 servings

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

1 gallon = 16 cups
So, 5 gallons = 5 x 16 = 80 cups
Now, a ladle of 11ec00ec_ed0a_7588_a352_a1203ec98003_TBX9044_11 cups can be obtained from the kettle.
Hence, the total number of servings = 80 ÷ 11ec00ec_ed0a_7588_a352_a1203ec98003_TBX9044_11 = 7.27 (approx.)
Therefore, the best choice is B because we cannot have partial servings, and the closest integer to 7.27 is 106.
