Question

There are 4 quarts in a gallon. The restaurant used 112 quarts of olive oil in one week. How many gallons of olive oil did the restaurant use during the week?

Explain how you found your answer.

Answer 1

To convert the number of gallons used to quarts, you multiply the number of gallons by 4. Therefore, the restaurant used 34 quarts of olive oil during the week.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, notice that gallons are larger than quarts. You are moving from a larger unit of measure to a smaller unit of measure. This means you will need to multiply. There are 4 quarts in a gallon, so your conversion factor is 4.

Now, multiply. Take the given number of gallons and multiply by 4.

8(1/2) x 4 = (17/2) x (4/1) = 68/2 = 34

The answer is 8(1/2) gallons - 34 quarts.

Answer 2
