Question

4gal 2qt - 3gal 3qt=
I need help with this one, it's just subtracting as is. Thank you

Answer 1

= .75 gallons or 3 quarts

Explanation:

Known

• 1 gallon = 4 quarts

Problem:

4 gallons 2 quarts - 3 gallons 3 quarts

⇒ 2 quarts: 0.5 gallons

⇒ 3 quarts: 0.75 gallons

Add on both sides

4 + 0.5 = 4.5 gallons

3 + 0.75 = 3.75 gallons

This leaves the equation at:

• 4.5 gallons - 3.75 gallons

This equals 3 quarts or 0.75 gallons.
