Practice Question
How many cups of peanut butter must be used in order to make exactly enough peanut butter balls for the children at the party?
Answer Choices
- A: 10
- B: 12
- C: 18
- D: 24
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Each child gets 4 balls, so 120 children need 120 * 4 = 480 balls. The recipe makes 40 balls using 1.5 cups peanut butter. For 480 balls, need 480 / 40 = 12 batches. Peanut butter = 12 * 1.5 = 18 cups. Thus, the correct answer is 18.
