Answer:

Omar pours approximately 15 quarts of juice in 30 days

Explanation:

Let's break down the problem step by step:

Omar pours
\( (2)/(3) \) cup of juice for his 2 brothers and himself. This means that each person gets \( \frac{2}{3} \) cup of juice.

There are 3 people in total (Omar and his 2 brothers). So, the total amount of juice poured for all of them is:


\( \text{Total juice} = \text{Amount per person} * \text{Number of people} \)


\( \text{Total juice} = (2)/(3) \, \text{cup/person} * 3 \, \text{people} = 2 \, \text{cups} \)

Now, you want to find out how many quarts of juice Omar pours in 30 days. To do this, you need to know the rate at which they consume juice. If they consume 2 cups of juice every day, you can calculate the total amount of juice consumed in 30 days:


\( \text{Total juice in 30 days} = \text{Amount per day} * \text{Number of days} \)\( \text{Total juice in 30 days} = 2 \, \text{cups/day} * 30 \, \text{days} = 60 \, \text{cups} \)

To convert cups to quarts, remember that 1 quart equals 4 cups. So, you can calculate the equivalent amount in quarts:


\( \text{Total juice in 30 days (quarts)} = \frac{60 \, \text{cups}}{4 \, \text{cups/quart}} = 15 \, \text{quarts} \)

Therefore, Omar pours approximately 15 quarts of juice in 30 days.
