Answer 1

Chin canned a number of quart jars and a number of pint jars of tomatoes from his garden. A pint is 16 ounces and a quart is 32 ounces. The number of pints he canned is represented by p, and the number of quarts he canned is represented by q. Which equation models the scenario if Chin canned a total of 1,280 ounces?

16p + 32q = 40

32q – 16p = 40

32q – 16p = 1,280

16p + 32q = 1,280

Answer 2

16p + 32p = 1,280 Should Be The Correct Answer.
