Question

Brad read that you should drink at least 2 quarts of water a day. Yesterday he drank 3 cups in the morning, 1 quart in the afternoon, and 1 pint in the evening. Did Brad drink at least 2 quarts of water? Explain.

Answer 1

yes he drank 2.25 quarts

Explanation:

convert the cups to quarts

1 cup = 0.25 quarts

3 cups x 0.25 = 0.75 quarts

convert the pints to quarts

1 pint = 0.5 quarts

add all the amount of water drank together

0.75 quarts + 1 quart + 0.5 quarts = 2.25 quarts
