how many quarts_____ and how many ounces_____

Answer 1

3 quarts and 14 ounces of honey remain in the beehive.

Explanation:

Pint = 16 ounces

Gallon = 128 ounces

Quart = 32 ounces

So, we start with a total of 640 ounces of honey. The beekeeper removes 530 ounces, leaving 110 behind. 32 ounces in a quart means that there are 3 full quarts in the hive as well as 14 ounces.
