Answers

Answered by GPT-4o mini
To find the total number of cups in the pot of chili, we'll need to determine how many cups are contributed by each ingredient individually.

1. **Dark red kidney beans**: 4 cups
2. **Tomato sauce**: 1 3/4 cups (which is 1.75 cups)
3. **100% tomato juice**: 48 fl oz (which is equivalent to 6 cups, as 1 cup = 8 fl oz)
4. **Petite diced peeled tomatoes in tomato juice**: 4 cups
5. **Chili kidney beans in mild chili sauce**: 4 cups
6. **Tomato paste**: Typically, 11 tablespoons is approximately 0.68 cups (since 1 cup = 16 tablespoons).
7. **Cooked seasoned ground beef**: This usually doesn't contribute to the liquid volume in the same way as liquid ingredients, but let's note that its volume is difficult to approximate without a definite volume measurement. However, for the sake of this calculation, we won't add a cup volume for it as it mainly adds bulk.
8. **Creamy peanut butter**: 1 tbsp is roughly 0.06 cups.
9. **Elbows**: Without a defined volume, we typically would consider them a solid. Assuming they contribute minimal liquid, we will not include their volume in the liquid calculation.

Now let's add up the liquid contributions:

- Kidney beans: 4 cups
- Tomato sauce: 1.75 cups
- Tomato juice: 6 cups
- Diced tomatoes: 4 cups
- Chili kidney beans: 4 cups
- Tomato paste: 0.68 cups (approx.)
- Peanut butter: 0.06 cups (approx.)

Total volume = 4 + 1.75 + 6 + 4 + 4 + 0.68 + 0.06

Calculating:

- 4 + 1.75 = 5.75
- 5.75 + 6 = 11.75
- 11.75 + 4 = 15.75
- 15.75 + 4 = 19.75
- 19.75 + 0.68 = 20.43
- 20.43 + 0.06 ≈ 20.49 cups

So the total volume of the chili in the pot is approximately **20.5 cups**.
