Question

Pints, quarts, and gallons are part of a larger "doubling" system of capacity measure.

1 jigger =2 mouthfuls
1 jack =2 jiggers
1 jill =2 jacks
1 cup =2 jill 5
​

1 pint = 2 cups
1 quart = 2 pints
1 bottle =2 quarts
1 gallon =2 bottles
1 pail = 2 gallons
​
Answer parts (a) and (b) below. (a) How many mouthfuls are in a jill? How many mouthfuls are in a cup? How many mouthfuls are in a pint? (b) Suppose one mouthful, one jigger, one jack....., and one gallon are poured into an empty pail. Does the pail overfiow, is it exactly filled, or is there room for more gallon in, then one bottle, and so on.) Select the correct choice below, and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your cchoice. A. The pail overflows. B. The pail is exactly filled. C. There is room for more mouthful(s) in the pai.

Answer 1

In the doubling system of capacity measure, there are 2 mouthfuls in a jill, 4 mouthfuls in a cup, and 8 mouthfuls in a pint. When pouring one unit of each measure into an empty pail, it will be exactly filled with no room for more mouthfuls.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the doubling system of capacity measure, there are 2 mouthfuls in a jill, 4 mouthfuls in a cup, and 8 mouthfuls in a pint.

In the given system, one mouthful, one jigger, one jack, and one gallon are poured into an empty pail. The pail will be exactly filled because each unit is double the previous one. So, there is no room for more mouthfuls in the pail.
