Question

Billy is making a juice that contains 3 quarts of water, 1 quart of grape juice, 1 quart of orange juice, and 2 quarts of strawberry juice. He is putting his homemade juice into a jug that can hold 2 1⁄2 gallons. How many more quarts of juice can Billy still make before filling the jug?

Answer 1

Billy can make 1 and 1/2 more quarts before filling the jug.

Explanation:

Since 4 quarts is a gallon, you add 3+1 which gets 4, so that's one gallon. Then you add 2+1 which is 3, meaning you could make 1 more and a half.
