Question

The volume of dry goods like apple or peaches can be measured using bushels, pecks and quarts. A bushel contains 4 pecks and a peck contains 8 quarts.what is the relationship between the number of b bushels and the number of q quarts

Answer 1

Answer:
`q= 32b`

Explanation:

Given: A bushel contains 4 pecks and a peck contains 8 quarts.

i.e. A bush = 4 pecks

A peck = 8 quarts

Then, Number of quarts in 1 bush = 4 (8) =32

Let b = number of bushes and q = number of quarts

Number of quarts(q) in b bushes = 32b

hence, required equation:
`q= 32b` which describes the relationship between the number of b bushels and the number of q quarts.
