Question

to convert a capacity of 2.6 gallons to quarts, which ratio could you multiply by? Remember that 1 gallon = 4 quarts

Answer 1

For this case we must make a conversion.

If we have to:

1 gallon = 4 quarts

We make a rule of three:

1g --------------> 4q

2.6g -----------> x

Where "x" represents quarts equivalent to 2.6 gallons.

`x = \frac {2.6 * 4} {1}\\x = 10.4`

So, we have 10.4 quarts.

Answer:

We must multiply by 4 and obtain 10.4 quarts.

Answer 2

4 quarts/1 gallon

Explanation:

Since; 1 gallon = 4 quarts

The ratio to multiply with will be 4 quarts/1 gallon

Such that 2.6 gallons will be equivalent to;

2.6 gallons × 4 quarts/1 gallon

= 10.4 Quarts
