Joy · Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

4 cups of tea per minute ... lunch lasts 2 hrs ... there are 120 minutes in 2 hrs ... so in 2 hrs, there will be (4 * 120) = 480 cups

and if there is 16 cups in 1 gallon, the caterer needs to bring:

480 / 16 = 30 gallons <==

4 cups of tea• 120 minutes = 480 cups
