Answer: = 324 ounces left over from 384 ounces

1 quart is 32 and 8 x 4 = 32 We add them together; 32+ 32= 64 ounces then convert 3 gallons to ounces = 384

We subtract;

384-64=324 ounces.

We convert again 128 p/g + 128p/g = 256 ounces = 2 gallons

We subtract; 324-256 = 68

We divide;

364/68 = 91/17 = 5 + 6/17 = < 1/6

364/64 =90/14 = 5 + 7/10 = < 1/6

64= < 1/5 of 384 ounces

324 = < 384 ounces

2 gallons, plus 17/32 units of a gallon. = exact =324 ounces.

as 68/128 = 128/68 = /4 each = 17/32
