Question

Earl needs to fill juice cups for his little brother birthday. There are 25 juice cups and each juice cup holds 12 fluid ounces. The juice comes in 1 gallon bottles. How many 1 gallon bottles of juice will earl need to purchase?

Answer 1

1 gallon = 128 ounces

25 x 12 = 300

300/128 = about 2.3 gallons needed

3 gallons since you can't get partial gallons

BUT if he didn't want to fill the cup entirely to the top and just put in 10 1/4 ounces in each 12 ounce cup

then 25 x 10 1/4 = 256 1/4 He could virtually fill all 25 cups with just 2 gallons
