3 gal = 12 quarts

Each scoop makes 3 quarts
12 quarts / 3 quarts per scoop = 4 scoops

joseph is planning a 2500 mile cross-country trip in his new sports utility vehicle. he uses the following information about his vehicle to figure out how much money to budget for gas:

. the vehicle has a 15 gallon tank
. the vehicle gets 25 miles per gallon
if the gasoline costs $2.99 a gallon, how much gas money will joseph need for his trip? (note:each time he stops for gas, joseph fills the tank completely.)

15 gal/tank x 25 mpg = 375 miles/tank

2500 mi / 375 per tank = 6.67 tank fills
= 7 tank fills (Joe always fills tank)

15 gal per tank x 7 tank fills = 105 gal
105 gal x 2.99/gal = $313.95 gas expense

To determine the number of scoops of powdered lemonade mix that Sandra will use, we need to first convert the measurements to a common unit.

Given:
- 1 gallon = 4 quarts
- 1 quart = 0.25 gallon

Sandra wants to make 3 gallons of lemonade reception, so to find the total number of quarts needed, we can multiply 3 by 4:
3 gallons * 4 quarts/gallon = 12 quarts

Each scoop of powdered mix dissolves in enough water to make 3 quarts of punch. Therefore, we need to divide the total number of quarts (12 quarts) by the number of quarts a scoop of powdered mix makes (3 quarts) to find the number of scoops required:

12 quarts / 3 quarts/scoop = 4 scoops

So, Sandra will need to use 4 scoops of powdered lemonade mix to make her 3 gallons of lemonade reception.
