Question

Isaac made 2 quarts and 1 cup of cupcake batter. If 6 ounces of batter make one cupcake and Isaac is making 10 cupcakes how much will be left over?
Cups and ounces

Answer 1

Answer:

1 cup and 4 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

2 qt + 1 cup = 72 oz

6 oz x 10 = 60 oz

72 oz - 60 oz = 12 oz = 1 cup and 4 oz

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is 12 ounces or 1.5 cups of batter will be left over.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 quart is equivalent to 32 fluid ounces and 1 cup is equivalent to 8 fluid ounces, so:

2 quarts and 1 cup of cupcake batter are equivalent to (32 * 2) + 8 fluid ounces

2 quarts and 1 cup of cupcake batter are equivalent to 72 fluid ounces

Now, we have that one cupcake is made of 6 ounces of batter and if Isaac is making 10 cupcakes = 6 * 10 ounces of batter = 60 ounces

To find how much batter will be left over, we do this subtraction:

Total of batter - batter used for the 10 cupcakes

72 - 60 = 12 ounces

After making 10 cupcakes, Isaac will have 12 ounces of batter remaining, that are equivalent to 1.5 cups (12/8 = 1.5)
