The amount of tea you need to serve 40 people depends on how much tea each person is expected to drink. On average, a person might consume about 1-2 cups of tea. Since there are 16 cups in a gallon, here’s how you can calculate:
Assumptions:
- Each person drinks 1.5 cups of tea (a typical amount).
- 1 gallon = 16 cups.
Calculation:
- Total cups needed:
40 people × 1.5 cups per person = 60 cups. - Gallons required:
60 cups ÷ 16 cups per gallon = 3.75 gallons.
Conclusion:
You would need approximately 3.75 gallons of tea to serve 40 people. If you round up for extra, 4 gallons would ensure everyone has enough.
