Question

A beehive contains 5 gallons of honey. A beekeeper removes 4 gallons, 1 pint, and 2 ounces. How much honey remains in the beehive?

Answer 1

Answer: 3 quarts and 14 ounces

Explanation:

1 gallon = 4 quarts = 128 ounces,

1 quart = 2 pints,

1 pint = 16 ounces.

Therefore:

5 gallons - ( 4 gallons 1 pint 2 ounces ) =

= 5 * 128 - ( 4 * 128 + 1 * 16 + 2 ) = 640 ounces - 530 ounces = 110 ounces

110 ounces = 3 * 32 + 14
