7. 156 pints sized jars
8. Eilleen's gallon can hold more cups that James's 3 quart water bottle.It can hold 4 more cups
Step-by-step explanation:
6. There are 96 fourth graders and each is supposed to get 1 cup of milk.
Hence, the number of cups of milk for all the fourth graders at the party is
96 × 1 cup of milk = 96 cups of milk.
Mr. Lee ordered 45 pints of milk for the fourth - grade party.
We have the conversion rate:
1 cup = 0.5 pints
Hence
1 cup = 0.5 pints
96 cups of milk = x
Cross Multiply
1 cup × x = 96 cups of milk × 0.5 pints
x = 96 cups of milk × 0.5 pints/1 cup
x = 48 cups of milk
a. Did Mr. Lee order the correct amount of milk?
No Mr Lee did not order the correct amount of milk.
b. if so, explain why you think he is correct. if not, how many pints of milk should he have ordered?
Mr Lee should have ordered for 48 pints of milk.
7. Daphne and Jordan made jam to sell at the market. Their jam is sold in pint - size jars.
They made 137 quarts but only sold 59 quarts.
The amount of quarts left is calculated as: 137 quarts - 59 quarts
= 78 quarts
We have conversion rate of
1 quart = 2 pints
The number of pint - size jars that are left is calculated as:
1 quart = 2 pints
78 quarts = x
Cross Multiply
1 quart × x = 78 quarts × 2 pints
x = 78 quarts × 2 pints/1 quart
x = 156 pints
The number of pint - size jars that are left 156 pints
8.
For James
James had a 3-quart water bottle.
1 quart = 4 cups
3 quarts = x
Cross Multiply
1 quart × x = 3 quarts × 4 cups
x = 3 quarts × 4 cups/1 quart
x = 12 cups
Hence, James 3 quart water bottle can hold 12 cups
For Eileen
Eileen bought 1-gallon jug.
1 gallon = 16 cups
Hence, Eileen's gallon can hold 16 cups
The difference between both containers is:
16 cups - 12 cups = 4 cups
Therefore, Eileen's gallon can hold more cups that James's 3 quart water bottle
It can hold 4 more cups
