Question

Use this image to answer the following question. The ice cream shop needs about two pounds of cocoa for each gallon of chocolate ice cream. If the shop produces eight gallons of strawberry ice cream, how many pounds of cocoa will it need for the most efficient production of chocolate ice cream?

Answer 1

I think this is a trick question. Say, there are 2 pounds of cocoa / 1 gallon of chocolate ice cream. But then the problem only mentions the production of eight gallons of strawberry ice cream, not chocolate ice cream.

However, if they're somehow related (like they are made from the same machine), then you need 16 pounds of cocoa to produce 8 gallons of chocolate ice cream.
