Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The limiting factor is the pineapple juice. The recipe requires 46 fluid ounces of pineapple juice for 50 servings. With 2 gallons (256 fluid ounces) of pineapple juice, you can make 256/46 * 50 = 278 servings. However, the closest option is 200 servings, which is a reasonable estimate considering practical constraints.
