Answer 1

I don't know what level of answer you need, so I will respond in two parts.

 

Before you continue, it is important to simplify the information by turning gallons into ounces.

 

1 Gallon=128 fluid ounces

 

 

Answer 1)

 

g=gallons

Solve according to order of operations starting here with multiplication:

96(6)=128g

 

576=128g

Isolate the variable by dividing both sides by 128:

576/128=128g/128

Answer:

4.5=g or, Four and a half gallons.

If you don't understand where I got those numbers, see Answer 2

 

Answer 2)

 

You have 96 people who each want 6 ounces or: 96 * 6.

So the total number of ounces you need is 96*6=576.

 

If each gallon holds 128 ounces and you need 576 ounces, you can divide the amount needed by the amount available: 578 / 128 = 4.5

 

You would need 4.5 Gallons to give 96 people 6 Ounces ounces of juice.

Answer 2

96 people x 6 ounces/person = 576 ounces needed and there are 128 ounces in 1 gallon

576 ounces x 1 gallon/128 ounces = 4.5 gallons needed
