Question

Paul is using a 4 quart container to fill a wash tub. If he needs 12 gallons of water to fill the tub, how many times does he need to fill the 4 quart container?

Answer 1

To fill a 12-gallon tub using a 4-quart container, Paul needs to fill the container 12 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the given number of gallons to quarts by multiplying by the conversion factor 4. Then, divide the total number of quarts needed (12 times 4) by the capacity of the container (4 quarts) to find how many times Paul needs to fill the container.

Conversion: 12 gallons x 4 quarts/gallon = 48 quarts

Number of times to fill the container: 48 quarts ÷ 4 quarts = 12

Answer 2

Answer: 48

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 quarts in a gallon. 4 multiplied by 12 is 48.
