A teacher brings 3 gallons of juice on a field trip. There are 36 students on the trip. How many fluid ounces of juice does the teacher bring? Show your work. Does the teacher have enough juice to give each student a 12-fluid ounce glass of juice? Explain.

Ans

Part (1) : Teacher brings 384 fluid ounces of juice.

Part (2) : No, if each student gets a 12-fluid ounce glass of juice then 384 fluid ounces of juice is enough for 32 students, 36 students need 432 fluid ounces of juice.

Explanation:

Part (1)

Total juice = 3 gallons

No. of students = 3

1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces

3 gallon = 3 X 128 fluid ounces

= 384 fluid ounces

Part (2)

1 student gets juice in glass = 12-fluid ounce

Juice required for 36 students = 12 x 36

= 432

384 fluid ounces is enough for how many students = 384/12

= 32 students
