Question

Molly is painting her bedroom walls, and the paint costs $24 per gallon. How much does the paint cost per quart?

$3 per quart
$6 per quart
$48 per quart
$96 per quart

Answer 1

$6 per quart

Explanation:

Since we are trying to find out how much money a quart of paint will cost, we need to find out how many quarts are in one gallon.

There are 4 quarts in a gallon, therefore we take $24 divided by 4 and get $6 per quart.

Answer 2

$6 per quart.

A quart is 1/4 of a gallon.
