Answer:
8 1/2 gallons is equivalent to 34 qt
Step-by-step explanation:
The conversion standard is
1 gallon --------------- 4 qt
8 1/2 gallons ----------- x qt
Step 1: convert mixed fractions into improper fraction
8 1/2 = (2 x 8) + 1 / 2
8 1/2 = 16 + 1 / 2
8 1/2 = 17 /2 gallons
Since, 1 gallon -------- 4 qt
17/2 gallons -------x qt
Cross multiply
1 * x = 17/2 x 4
x = 17 x 4 / 2
x = 68 / 2
x = 34 qt
