Diane brought 4.5 gallons of water to a campout. How many ounces of water did she bring? Show your work.
Diane started a hike with 24 ounces of water in her backpack. What fraction of a gallon of water did she start the hike with? Show your work.

Answer 1

part a: 576 oz

multiply 4.5 by 16 and then multiply that by 8.

4.5 * 16

= 72 * 8

= 576

part b: 3/16

Diane started a hike with 24 ounces of water in her backpack. The fraction of gallons in 24 ounces is,

24/8*16 --> 24/128

Simplify.

24/128 --> 3/16

Hope this helps!
