Question

Amy and her sister are making lemonade for the school dance. Their recipe makes 2 quarts of lemonade. If they make 35 times the recipe, how many gallons of lemonade will Amy and her sister have?

A) 17.5 gallons
B) 35 gallons
C) 70.5 gallons
D) 140 gallons

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

If they are making 35 times more than the original recipe you have to multiply 2 by 35

2 x 35= 70

Then, you have to convert 70 quarts to gallons

4 quarts= 1 gallon

70/4= 17.5 gallons

Answer 2

The answer is A. If you multiply 2 quarts by 35, you get 70 quarts. A gallon is equal to 4 quarts, so divide 70 by 4. You get 17.5.
