Question

Soup Shop sells soup in 1-quart containers. This morning, they made 6 gallons of tomato basil soup. They also had 8 containers leftover from yesterday. How many containers of tomato basil soup do they have in all?

Answer 1

32 containers

Explanation:

First, there are 4 quarts in 1 gallon.

So they have 6 gallons of basil soup, and we need to convert it to quarts.

6gal * 4 = 24 quarts tomato basil soup

If they had 8 containers leftover we need to add then to the 24 quarts from this morning.

24quarts + 8 quarts = 32 quarts

If 1 container is 1 quart then there are 32 containers in all.
