12 quarts is 3 gallons

Solve: 12 quarts = ? gallon

Let ? repersent x.

Solution: (Nothing to really explain since this is like once you see it you answer it there's no answer pattern or a step by step explanation. Good Luck on other problems like this.

1 quart = 0.25 gallon

2 quart = 0.5 gallon

5 quart = 1.25

10 quart = 2.5

As we know all this stuff, we can add 1, 2, 5, or 10 quarts to make a sum of 12.

Here are some equations


2 + 2+2+2+2+2


10+2

There is way more but these ones are the easiest. Yes, there is
1+1 all the way to 12, but we don't need it.

Now let's calculate the first one 2 + alot of 2's. To do that:

1. Change all the 2's into 0.5.


0.5 + 0.5 +0.5 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.5 = 0.5*6

2. Multiply


0.5*6 is 3.

Therefore, 12 quarts = 3 gallons.

Now, let's try the 10+2 one. To do that"

1. Change 10 into 2.5 and 2 into 0.5


2.5+0.5

2. Add


2.5+0.5=3

Therefore, 12 quarts = 3 gallons.

Hope this helps!
