Wow..easy 10 points problem! :) BASIC MATH

There are 2 cooks that work full-time at Wonderland Elementary School. The cooks make 6 ½ pots of oatmeal for breakfast and 10 ½ pots of soup for lunch every day. If they had to feed 116 children and 8 teachers, how many pots of soup will they have to make in 3 days?

Unless I am mistaken, there is no way to solve this problem because we do not know how much a student or a teacher will eat nor do we know how much soup is in a pot.

If the problem told us the students eat a half bowl of soup and the teachers eat a full bowl, and there are 50 bowls in a pot, then we could solve the problem. Without that information, there is no way to know how much the people eat, or how much a pot contains.

Unsolvable without that information being provided.
