Question

A shop keeper has 8 gallons, 3 quarts,

and 1 cup of milk in the cooler. A
customer comes in and would like to buy
2 gallon, 5 quarts, 1 pint and 3 cups of
milk. How much does the shopkeeper
have left in the cooler after he has
supplied the customer with his purchase?

Answer 1

I believe it would be 86 cups left of milk.

Explanation:

8 gallons= 128 cups of milk

3 quarts= 12 cups

Plus the 1 cup of milk he had equals 141 of milk in total

Now the customer wants 2 gallons (32 cups of milk), 5 quarts ( 20 cups), and 3 cups which is 55 cups of milk.

Now we minus what the customer bought from what the shop keeper had so:

55-141=86
