The world's record for the largest cup of coffee was broken on October 15, 2010 with a 2010 gallon cup of coffee in Las Vegas, Nevada. If a cup of coffee contains 318 mL of coffee, how many cups of coffee would be required to fill the world record coffee cup?

Respuesta :

Answer: 23927 cups of coffee would be required to fill the world record coffee cup.

Explanation:

Volume of cup of coffee = 318 ml

Volume of largest cup (world record coffee cup) of coffee = 2010 gallon  

Volume of largest cup of coffee in ml = [tex]2010\times 3785.41=7608678ml[/tex]  ( 1 gallon = 3785.41 ml)

To find : Number of cups of coffee to fill world record coffee cup = x

Thus as we know :

[tex]{\text {Number of cups of coffee to fill world record coffee cup}}\times {\text {Volume of cup of coffee}}={\text {Volume of largest cup (world record coffee cup) of coffee}}[/tex]

Putting in the values we get:

[tex]x\times 318ml=7608678ml[/tex]

[tex]x=23927[/tex]

Thus 23927 cups of coffee would be required to fill the world record coffee cup.
