Can you explain how to answer this question? Tara wants to set up 5 water coolers outside the skating rink to allow skaters to hydrate themselves. She buys 80 gallons to distribute evenly to each cooler and 8 ounce cups for drinking the water. How many cups will each cooler of water fill?

256 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of 8-ounce cups that each of the cooler of water will fill.

This is obviously a conversion type of question. We proceed as follows;

She buys 80 gallons to distribute in 5 coolers, this means each cooler will contain 80/5 = 16 gallons each of water.

Now let’s get the equivalent of this in ounce.

Mathematically, 1 gallon contains 128 ounces.

Since one cooler contains 16 gallons, this means each cooler will contain 16 * 128 = 2,048 ounces of water

Now, we know each cooler of water is to fill a series of 8- ounce cups. We now need to calculate the number of 8-ounce cups that will be filled by the 2,048 ounces cooler.

Mathematically, this is 2,048/8 = 256 cups

in mathematics, a function is a relationship between two variables such that the value of one of the variables, called the dependent variable, is determined by the value of the other variable, called the independent variable. there is a specific term we use to describe the set of independent variables of a function.
