Answer:

A. 20 containers

B. 40 containers

C. 140, 280 containers

Explanation:

What we should do is find the equivalences of a quarter and a pint, in gallons.

We have to:

1 gallon = 4 quarts.

1 gallon = 8 pints.

If we have 5 gallons of each.

A. 5 gallon * 4 quarts / 1 gallon = 20 one-quart containers per day are required.

B. 5 gallon * 8 pints / 1 gallon = 40 one-pint containers per day are required.

C. To find out what is needed each week, multiply by 7, since one week is 7 days.

So:

For one-quarter containers:

20 * 7 = 140 containers per week.

For one-pint containers:

40 * 7 = 280 containers per week.
