Answer :
Ms. Reed makes a total of 4.125 cups of salad dressing.
To find out how many total cups of salad dressing Ms. Reed makes, we first need to determine the total amount of oil and vinegar she uses for 3 batches.
Given:
- 1 batch = 8 fluid ounces of oil + 3 fluid ounces of vinegar
For 3 batches:
- Total oil = 8 fluid ounces/batch * 3 batches = 24 fluid ounces
- Total vinegar = 3 fluid ounces/batch * 3 batches = 9 fluid ounces
Next, we convert the total fluid ounces to cups:
- 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces
Converting total oil to cups:
- Total oil in cups = 24 fluid ounces / 8 = 3 cups
Converting total vinegar to cups:
- Total vinegar in cups = 9 fluid ounces / 8 = 1.125 cups
Therefore, the total amount of salad dressing Ms. Reed makes using 3 batches is:
- Total salad dressing = Total oil + Total vinegar = 3 cups + 1.125 cups = 4.125 cups
Ms. Reed makes a total of 4.125 cups of salad dressing.
Ms. Reed makes a total of 4 1/8 cups of salad dressing when she makes 3 batches, with each batch consisting of 8 fluid ounces of oil and 3 fluid ounces of vinegar.
To determine how many total cups of salad dressing Ms. Reed makes, we first need to calculate the total fluid ounces for one batch and then multiply by the number of batches.
One batch = 8 fluid ounces of oil + 3 fluid ounces of vinegar.
Total for one batch is 8 + 3 = 11 fluid ounces.
Ms. Reed makes 3 batches, so we multiply the total fluid ounces for one batch by 3.
Total fluid ounces for 3 batches = 11 fluid ounces per batch imes 3 batches = 33 fluid ounces.
Since there are 8 fluid ounces in 1 cup, we divide the total fluid ounces by 8 to find the total cups.
Total cups = 33 fluid ounces \/ 8 fluid ounces per cup = 4 1/8 cups of salad dressing.
