During a catered lunch, an average of 4 cups of tea are poured per minute. The lunch will last 2 hours. How many gallons of tea should the caterer bring if there are 16 cups in one gallon?

Answer by Guest

The answer is 30 gallons.

Firstly, convert the hours to minutes so you know how many minutes you're working with. 2*60=120 minutes.

Then, multiply 120 with 4 to get the number of tea (in cups) that is poured. 120*4=480 cups.

Finally, divide 480 cups with 16 cups to find out the number of gallons poured. 480/16 equals 30 gallons.

Hope this helped.
