rGiven the statement:
She made 5/6 gallon of lemonade for her son and his friends.
Determine how many 1 cup of servings can Mrs. Costello offer.
Solution:
Convert gallons to cup using the general conversion method.
1 gallon = 16 cups
= (5/6 gallons)( 16 cups / 1 gallon)
The unit gallons cancel.
= 80/6 cups
= 13.333…
Since we need a whole number answer, then we will round to the nearest whole number.
= 13 cups
Final answer:
Mrs. Costello can offer 13 cups.
