Final answer:

Kyle drank 12 ounces of Killa Kola.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much Kyle drank, we need to calculate 3/8 of 6 quarts. First, we set up a proportion:

1 quart/32 ounces = 3/8 quarts/x ounces

Next, we cross multiply to solve for x:

1 * x = 32 * 3/8

Then, we simplify the right side of the equation:

x = 96/8

Finally, we simplify the fraction:

x = 12 ounces

Therefore, Kyle drank 12 ounces of Killa Kola.
