a) 50 gallons 50 quarts 50 pints
b) 81 gallons 1 quart
c) 64 gallons 3 quarts 1 pint
d) 72 gallons 2 quarts

Answer 1

To find the total capacity of 50 containers of orange juice, we convert the given capacity to gallons, quarts, and pints. The total capacity is 64 gallons 3 quarts 2 pints. Hence the correct answer is option C

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total capacity of 50 containers of orange juice, we need to convert the given capacity to gallons, quarts, and pints. Since each container holds 1 gallon 2 quarts 1 pint, we can use the conversion factors: 1 gallon = 4 quarts and 1 quart = 2 pints.

First, convert the total number of gallons: 50 containers * 1 gallon = 50 gallons.

Next, convert the total number of quarts: 50 containers * 2 quarts = 100 quarts.

Finally, convert the total number of pints: 50 containers * 1 pint = 50 pints.

Therefore, the total capacity of 50 containers of orange juice is 50 gallons 100 quarts 50 pints, which can be simplified to 64 gallons 3 quarts 2 pints (option c).
