Gabe needs to divide 2 gallons of ketchup into 15 bottles. Since there are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon, he actually has 256 fluid ounces of ketchup. Dividing this by 15 gives him 256/15. When simplified, this improper fraction can be expressed as 17 1/15 ounces. So, each bottle will get 17 ounces and a little extra ketchup to keep things deliciously saucy! Ensuring even distribution is key here! A common mistake would be to just pour without measuring—leading to some bottles getting more ketchup than others. Using a measuring cup can help Gabe avoid this! The goal is an evenly sauced diner experience for everyone!
