Question

A 1-gallon container of milk contains 32 half-cup servings and costs $3.89. A batch of muffins uses 3/5 cups of milk. How many batches can you make if you use all the milk? What is the cost of the milk for each barch

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of batches can make is $\frac{80}{3}$ And

The cost of milk of each batch is $ 6.483  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

A 1 gallon container milk contains 32 half cup serving

I.e  1 gallon container milk contains 16  cup serving

So , The cost of 1 gallon container milk contains 16  cup serving = $ 3.89

Now, 1 batch of muffins uses $\frac{3}{5}$ cups of milk

∵ For  $\frac{3}{5}$ cups of milk required 1 batch of muffins

So, For 1  cups of milk will make $\frac{1}{\frac{3}{5}}$ batch of muffins

I.e For 1  cups of milk will make $\frac{5}{3}$ batch of muffins

∴ 16 cups of milk will make $\frac{5}{3}$ × 16 batch of muffins

I.e  16 cup of milk will make $\frac{80}{3}$ batch of muffins  

Now, Again

∵ The cost of 16 cup serving = $ 3.89

∴ The cost of  $\frac{80}{3}$ batch cup serving = $\frac{3.89}{16} ×$ batch$\frac{80}{3}$ batch

I.e The cost of  $\frac{80}{3}$ batch cup serving = $ 6.483

Hence The number of batches can make is $\frac{80}{3}$ And The cost of milk of each batch is $ 6.483    Answer
