Answer 1

2 gallons < 9 quarts

Explanation:

Given: Torri measured the capacity of the punch bowl. Her first measurement was 2 gallons. Her second measurement was 9 quarts

To compare: the two measurements

Solution:

First measurement of punch bowl = 2 gallons

Second measurement of punch bowl = 9 quarts

As 1 gallon = 4 quarts,

Therefore, 2 gallons = 2×4 = 8 quarts < 9 quarts

So, 2 gallons is less than 9 quarts.
