Tyson · Answer 1

Answer:each person will get 0.5 cups of fruit sorbet.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 US gallons contain 16 US cups.

Total amount of fruit sorbet that Hugo has is 1 gallon. He wants to serve 1 gallon of fruit sorbet to 32 friends. Converting from gallon to cups, 1 gallon of fruit sorbet equals 16 cups of fruit sorbet.

If each person receives the same amount, the number of cups of fruit sorbet that each person will get would be number of cups / number of persons. It becomes

16/32 = 0.5 cups of fruit sorbet
