Algebra.Com's Answer #513430 by LinnW(1048)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let's first determine the number of ounces required. \n" ); document.write( "( 210 people * 6 oz ) = 1260 oz \n" ); document.write( "Now determine how many cases are required to produce 1260 oz. \n" ); document.write( "Each case makes 3/4 gallon. Since 1 gallon = 128 oz , \n" ); document.write( "3/4 gallon = (3/4)*128 = 3*128/4 = 3*32 = 96 oz. \n" ); document.write( "We now know that each case produces 96 oz of juice. \n" ); document.write( "If we divide 1260 by 96 this gives the number of cases required. \n" ); document.write( "1260/96 = 13 1/8 cases . \n" ); document.write( "Since we buy juice in cases, we will need 14 cases. \n" ); document.write( "( 14 cases )*( $22.80 per case ) = $319.20 \n" ); document.write( " |
