Question

Convert 18 miles per gallon to feet per quart

Answer 1

To convert 18 miles per gallon to feet per quart, multiply the number of miles (18) by the number of feet in a mile (5,280) to get feet per gallon, and then divide by the number of quarts in a gallon (4) to get feet per quart, resulting in 23,760 feet per quart.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 18 miles per gallon to feet per quart, we need to know two conversion factors: the number of feet in a mile and the number of quarts in a gallon.

There are 5,280 feet in one mile and there are 4 quarts in one gallon. Now, to perform the conversion, we start with 18 miles per 1 gallon and transform it step-by-step:

1. Convert miles to feet: 18 miles × 5,280 feet/mile = 95,040 feet.
2. Convert gallons to quarts: 1 gallon is equivalent to 4 quarts, so we divide by 4.
3. Therefore, 95,040 feet per gallon ÷ 4 quarts/gallon = 23,760 feet per quart.

Thus, 18 miles per gallon is equivalent to 23,760 feet per quart.
