d. (5 4/19) gallons quarts

Answer 1

To find (90 gallons + 1 quart) / 19 in gallons and quarts, convert 1 quart to 0.25 gallons, add it to 90 gallons to get 90.25 gallons, and divide by 19. The result is 4.75 gallons, translating to 4 gallons and 3 quarts which do not match the given options.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation (90 gallons + 1 quart) / 19, first convert the quantities to the same unit. Since there are 4 quarts in a gallon, you would first convert 1 quart to gallons. The conversion is 1 quart = 0.25 gallons, therefore:

1. Add 90 gallons to 0.25 gallons (which is 1 quart) to get 90.25 gallons.
2. Divide 90.25 gallons by 19 to get the result in gallons.

90.25 gallons divided by 19 is 4.75 gallons. To express 0.75 gallons in quarts, multiply by 4 (since there are 4 quarts in a gallon), giving us 3 quarts. So the answer is 4 gallons and 3 quarts, which is not represented in the options (a), (b), (c) or (d). It looks like there may have been an error in the provided options or the question.
