Answer :
Answer:
At the end of the party 5.5 gallons or 88 cups of punch will be leftover.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
There are 20 guest at a party.
Now, to find the quantity of punch that will be leftover.
Number of guests = 20.
Total gallons of punch = 8.
Now, using conversion factor we change gallons into cups:
1 gallon = 16 cup.
So, 8 gallons = 16 × 8 = 128 cups.
Thus, total cups of punch = 128.
Total number of cups each guest will drink = 2.
Now, to get total number of cups the 20 guests will drink by multiplying:
[tex]20\times 2[/tex]
[tex]=40\ cups.[/tex]
Total number of cups the 20 guests will drink = 40.
So, to get the leftover punch we subtract the total number of cups the 20 guests will drink from total cups of punch:
[tex]128-40\\\\=88\ cups.[/tex]
So, 88 cups = [tex]88\div 16=5.5\ gallons.[/tex]
Therefore, at the end of the party 5.5 gallons or 88 cups of punch will be leftover.
