Waffles and Cream Dairy fills each waffle cone with 2 cups of ice cream. How many waffle cones can they fill with 5 gallons of ice cream?

Question

Hint: There are 16 cups in 1 gallon.

Answer 1

First, we need to find out how many cups of ice cream are in 5 gallons:

5 gallons * 16 cups/gallon = 80 cups

Now, we know that each waffle cone can hold 2 cups of ice cream. So, we can find out how many waffle cones can be filled with 80 cups of ice cream:

80 cups / 2 cups per waffle cone = 40 waffle cones

Therefore, Waffles and Cream Dairy can fill 40 waffle cones with 5 gallons of ice cream.
