Question

A standard coffee mug has a capacity of 16 fluid ounces. If Annie needs to fill 26 mugs with coffee, how many total quarts of coffee does she need?

Answer 1

So if you need to fill 26  cup at 16oz per cup that is 416oz but that is ounces you need quarts.

you take 416oz/32=13
(320z-1qt)
she will need 13 quarts of coffee to fill all of the cups.

Answer 2

Multiply the amount of fluid ounces in a mug by the amount of mugs Annie needs to fill:

$16 \times 26 = 416$

There are 32 fluid ounces in a quart. Divide the total amount of fluid ounces by the amount of fluid ounces in a quart:

$416 \div 32 = 13$

Annie will need 13 quarts of coffee to fill the mugs.
