Question

Tasha made 4gal 3qt of soup her guest ate 2 gal 1 qt then Tasha packed the rest of the soup in 1 pint containers how many containers did she need for the remaing soup

Answer 1

She used 20 containers to pack the remaining soup

Question:

Given

Volume of Soup = 4gal 3qt

Consumer volume = 2 gal 1 qt

She's left with

4gal 3qt - 2gal 1qt

= 2gal 2qt

The topic of this question is measurements (volume)

Given that

A quart (qt) is the same thing as 4 cups or 2 pints.

If we still need more liquid we can

And a gallon (gal) is the same as 16 cups or 8 pints or 4 quarts.

We need to convert 2gal 2qt to pint

1 gal = 8 pints

2 gal will be 2 * 8 pints

So, 2 gal = 16 pints

1 qt = 2 pints

2 qt will be 2 * 2 pints

So, 2 qt = 4 pints

In total, she has 4 pints + 16 pints

= 20 pints

If she packed the rest soup in 1 pint container, then she's used a total of 20 containers
