Question

A recipe for chicken soup calls for 3 boxes of chicken broth measuring 15.8 fluid ounces each. How many fluid ounces of broth are used in the recipe?

Answer 1

To find the total amount of chicken broth used in the recipe, you need to multiply the number of boxes of chicken broth by the fluid ounces in each box.

Given:
- Number of boxes = 3
- Fluid ounces per box = 15.8

Calculating the total fluid ounces:

\[
\text{Total fluid ounces} = \text{Number of boxes} \times \text{Fluid ounces per box}
\]

\[
\text{Total fluid ounces} = 3 \times 15.8
\]

\[
\text{Total fluid ounces} = 47.4
\]

Therefore, the recipe uses a total of **47.4 fluid ounces** of chicken broth.
