Answer
a) 17.5 gallons = 70 quarts.
b) 17.5 gallons = 140 pints.
Step-by-step explanation
We are told that an automobile holds 17 1/2 gallons of gasoline.
We are then asked to convert this into quarts and pints.
Note that 17 1/2 gallons = 17.50 gallons
a) Conversion of gallons into quarts.
1 US gallon = 4 US quarts
17.5 US gallons = 17.5 × 4 = 70 quarts
b) Conversion of gallons into pints.
1 US gallons = 8 US pints
17.5 gallons = 17.5 × 8 = 140 pints.
Hope this Helps!!!
