Question

The Garcia family started the day with 2 gallons of milk. They drank 1 quart of milk for breakfast and 3 pints for lunch.How many pints of milk did the Garcia family have left after lunch.

Answer 1

11 pt

Explanation:

Convert all volumes to pints

Starting volume

2 gal × 4 qt/1 gal = 8 qt

8 qt × 2 pt/1 qt = 16 pt

Breakfast

1 qt × 2 pt/1 qt = 2 pt

Stating volume = 16 pt

Less breakfast = -2 pt

Less lunch = -3 pt

After lunch = 11 pt

The Garcia family had 11 pt of milk left after lunch.
