Answer:
4 cups
Explanation:
First, we calculate the volume of the regular size popcorn:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Volume}=5\times3\times8 \\ =120\; in^3 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Given that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{14}.4in^3=1\text{ cup} \\ 120in^3=x\text{ cups} \\ \frac{14.4}{1}=\frac{120}{x} \\ 14.4x=120 \\ x=\frac{120}{14.4} \\ x=8.33\text{ cups} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Thus, if each pair of 2 students share one regular-size popcorn, each student will get approximately 4 cups.
