gal ≈ qt

Answer 1

To convert gallons to quarts, multiply the number of gallons by 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, notice that gallons are larger than quarts. You are moving from a larger unit of measure to a smaller unit of measure. This means you will need to multiply. There are 4 quarts in a gallon, so your conversion factor is 4.
Now, multiply. Take the given number of gallons and multiply by 4.
8(1/2)×4=(17/2)×(4/1)=68/2=34
The answer is 8(1/2) gallons-34 quarts.
