How many gallons of yogurt are needed to fill 1600 tubs?

B. 100
C. 16
D. 60

Answer :

Final answer:

To fill 1600 tubs of half-cup yogurt, a food company would require 50 gallons of yogurt.

Explanation:

Given that one tub of yogurt is a half-cup, 1600 tubs would be equivalent to 800 cups since 1600 half-cups equates to 800 cups. We know that 2 cups make 1 pint, so 800 cups are equivalent to 400 pints. Since 2 pints equal 1 quart, 400 pints equal 200 quarts. Finally, since 4 quarts make up 1 gallon, 200 quarts amount to 50 gallons. Hence, the food company will require 50 gallons of yogurt to fill 1600 tubs.
