Problema Solution
At a daycare center each of the 24 toddlers drinks about 3/4 cup of milk with lunch. The center is open 5 days a week. How many quarts of milk will the center need for one week of lunches?
If the center buys milk in gallon containers how many containers should be ordered for one week?
Answer provided by our tutors
Every day 24 toddlers drinks 3/4 cup of milk each.
24 * 3/4 = 18 cups of milk
Now you need to multiply that by 5 days
18 * 5 = 90
Therefore, the center needs 90 cups of milk for one week of lunches.
There are 4 cups in one quart so divide by 4.
90/4 = 22.5 but you need to round up
So the center needs 23 quarts of milk for one week
