Question

Sarah uses a recipe to make 2 gallons of juice. Two of the containers she plans to use to store the juice have a capacity of one quart. The rest of the containers have capacity of one pint. How many pint containers will she need? key: 1 gal = 4 qt. 1 gal= 8 pt 1 qt= 2 pt

Answer 1

14 pint containers.

Explanation:

First we have to convert gallon to quart.

2 gallons = 8 quarts

There are 2 containers that added up to 1 quart, so let's subtract the one quart from the 2 gallons(8 quarts), leaving behind 7 quarts.

The conversion between quarts and pints are 1qt=2pt, according to the key you provided. Then 7 quarts will equal to 14 pints. And therefore, she will need 14 pint containers.
