Question

My 6 friends is going to be at my sleepover I will need good amount of milkshakes 1. I would need 7 gallons of milk 2. I would need (4/5) of ice cream Now I multiply all together to see if it’s enough for my guest 6 times (4/5) 5 3/5 I’ll think this would be a perfect amount.

Is this right?

Answer 1

No, your calculation is incorrect. To determine the amount of milkshake you need, you should multiply the number of friends (6) by the amount of ice cream needed (4/5) and then multiply that result by the number of gallons of milk needed (7).

So, the correct calculation would be:

6 friends x (4/5) x 7 gallons = 26.4 gallons

Therefore, you would need approximately 26.4 gallons of milkshake for your sleepover with 6 friends.
