Answer 1

To find out how many tablespoons are in 5 quarts, we can use the proportion you provided:

\[
\frac{3 \text{ quarts}}{192 \text{ tablespoons}} = \frac{5 \text{ quarts}}{x \text{ tablespoons}}
\]

To solve for \(x\), we can cross-multiply:

\[
3 \text{ quarts} \cdot x \text{ tablespoons} = 5 \text{ quarts} \cdot 192 \text{ tablespoons}
\]

This gives us:

\[
3x = 960
\]

Now, divide both sides by 3:

\[
x = \frac{960}{3} = 320
\]

So, there are 320 tablespoons in 5 quarts.

The answer is \( \boxed{320} \).
