1. [4 points] After swim practice, each of the 30 swim team members gets 15 ounces of juice.

The coach brought 2 gallons of juice to practice. Determine whether the coach brought

enough juice for each team member to get 15 ounces and how much more he needs or how

much extra is left over. Be sure you include a LABEL on your number answers. YOU

MUST SHOW WORK TO GET FULL CREDIT!

• Find oz needed: MULTIPLY # of swimmers by # of oz each drinks = oz needed

• Find oz brought: Change gallons into oz (# of gal x 4 qt x 2 pt x 2 c x 8 oz) = oz brought

• Is there enough juice? Compare oz needed to oz brought. Brought must be BIGGER than

needed to have enough.

• How much left over or more needed? Subtract needed and brought (BIG # - LITTLE #)
