To hydrate team Daniel mixes powdered drink with water.

Question

For best taste, mix should be 96% water, if Daniel has used 16 scoops of powder and added two quarts water how many gallons of water should he add given that each scoop is one quarter cup.  

 

Answer 1

16(1/4) = 4 cups powder, which means he needs 96 cups of water.

 

There are 4 cups in a quart, so we already have 2(4) = 8 cups of water.

 

96 - 8 = 88 more cups water needed

 

There are 16 cups in a gallon.

 

88/16 = 5 1/2

 

He needs to add 5 1/2 gallons of water.
