The Marrieds are planning to serve 380 guests at a breakfast event. They plan to serve tomato juice, which comes in 46 oz. cans. Assuming they plan to serve each guest a 5 oz. portion and that there are 12 cans in a case, how many cases of tomato juice will they need?
Amount of tomato juice to be served = 5 x 380 = 1900 oz.
Number of cans in 1900 oz = 1900 / 46 = 41.3 cans
Number of cases containing 41.3 cans = 41.3/12 = 3.44 cases
Answer:
Approx 4 cases of tomato juice.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Marrieds are planning to serve 380 guests at a breakfast event.
Each guest serve = 5 oz
Total number of juice of oz = 5 x 380
= 1900 oz
In 1 can = 46 oz
In 1 case = 12 can
In 1 case = 12 x 46
= 552 oz
In 552 oz = 1 case
In 1 oz = 1/552 case
In 1900 oz \(=\dfrac{1}{552}\times 1900\)
\(=3.44\approx 4\)
Hence, Approx 4 cases of tomato juice.
