Answer 1

1. 42 quarts
2. 6 pounds
3. 2.008 kilometers

Answer 2

1. 42 quarts. Since there are 2 pints in a quart, we simply have to divide the 84 pints sold by 2, and we'll get the amount of quarts sold.

2. 6 pounds. There are 16 ounces in a pound, so we have to divide the 96 into by 16, and the amount left is how many pounds the package is.

3. 5 kilometers. There are 1000 meters in a kilometer, so divide the 5000 by 1000, and that's how many kilometers there are in 5,000 meters
