Question:

Solution:

There are 4 cups in every quart, so she has


3\text{ quarts(}\frac{4\text{ cups}}{1\text{ quart}}\text{)}=12\text{ cups}

now, if each glue bottle is equivalent to 1 cup, then Ms. Monet can fill 12 glue bottles. Note that 12 glue bottles < 24 glue bottles.

Then, the correct answer is: she does not have enough glue to fill 24 bottles.
