Answer: Hence, there are 18 bowls needed to served in total.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Number of gallons of chicken soup = 8
Number of gallons of pumpkin soup = 1
Quantity that a Soup Bowl holds = 8 fluid ounces
As we know that
[tex]1\ fluid\ ounce=0.0625\ gallons\\\\8\ fluid\ ounces=8\times 0.0625\\\\8\ fluid\ ounces=0.5\ gallon[/tex]
Now, Number of bowls is needed for chicken soup is given by
[tex]\frac{8}{0.5}=16[/tex]
Number of bowls is needed for pumpkin soup is given by
[tex]\frac{1}{0.5}=2[/tex]
Hence, there are 16+2=18 bowls needed to served in total.
