How Many S'mores Can You Make with Graham Crackers, Marshmallows, and Chocolate Pieces?

How many total s'mores can be made?

If I had 50 graham cracker squares, 15 marshmallows, and 100 little chocolate pieces, how many total s'mores could I make before I ran out of ingredients?

Answer:

15

If you have 50 graham cracker squares, 15 marshmallows, and 100 little chocolate pieces, you can make a maximum of 15 s'mores before running out of ingredients.

Each s'more requires 2 graham crackers, 1 marshmallow, and 4 chocolate pieces. With the given quantities of ingredients, you can only make 15 s'mores. Here is the breakdown:

  • 50 graham cracker squares: enough to make 25 s'mores (each s'more needs 2 graham crackers)
  • 15 marshmallows: enough to make 15 s'mores
  • 100 little chocolate pieces: enough to make 25 s'mores (each s'more needs 4 chocolate pieces)

Since you only have 15 marshmallows, the maximum number of s'mores you can make is limited to 15. Even though you have more graham crackers and chocolate pieces, the marshmallows will run out first. Therefore, the correct answer is 15 s'mores.

Enjoy your delicious s'mores with the ingredients you have!
