Question

Hugo is serving fruit sorbet at his party. He has 1 gallon of fruit sorbet to serve to 32 friends. If each person receives the same amount, how many cups of fruit sorbet will each person get? Explain.

Answer 1

First we need to find out how many cups are in a gallon.

1 gallon = 4 quarts = 8 pints = 16 cups

So now divide the total number of available cups with the number of people.

16 / 32 = 0.5 cups/person
