Question

Answer 1

15 cases

1) Consider that 1 gallon corresponds to 4 quarts. So we can write out:

30 gallon = 120 quarts

8-quart bottle per case

2) So we have in each case 8-quart bottles. Since we have 120 quarts then, let's divide it by the capacity of the case:

`(120)/(8)=15`

3) Hence, we'll have 15 full cases with those 30 gallons (120 quarts) bottles of oil.
