Answer: 3 quarts of coffee.

Explanation:

A coffee mug can take 16 fluid ounces.

Annie needs to fill up 6 mugs so the total ounces needed for 6 mugs would be:

= 16 * 6

= 96 fluid ounces

As the answer needs to be in quarts, convert the above.

1 quart = 32 fluid ounces

96 fluid ounces = 96/32

= 3 quarts
