7 answers

To find out how much chocolate sauce is on each sundae, we first need to determine the total amount of chocolate sauce in the 1/3 gallon.

1 gallon is equal to 128 ounces.

Therefore, 1/3 gallon is equal to 128/3 = 42.67 ounces of chocolate sauce.

Now, if the chocolate sauce is divided equally between 5 sundaes, we need to divide 42.67 by 5.

42.67 / 5 = 8.53

Therefore, each sundae will have approximately 8.53 ounces of chocolate sauce on it.
whats the answer as a fraction
To express the answer as a fraction, we will keep the amount of chocolate sauce per sundae in terms of 1/3 gallon first.

We found that the total amount of chocolate sauce in 1/3 gallon is 42.67 ounces. Therefore, each sundae will have (42.67 / 5) ounces of chocolate sauce.

To express this as a fraction of 1/3 gallon:

(42.67 / 5) / (128 / 3) = (42.67 / 5) * (3 / 128) = 0.26640625

So, each sundae will have approximately 0.26640625 of 1/3 gallon of chocolate sauce.
