Answer 1

2 more quarts of oil is needed to fill

the engine to capacity

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate how many more quarts of oil is required to fill the engine to capacity

We have to convert the capacity to quarts

Mathematically, 1 gallon = 4 quarts

So 1 1/4 gallon will be 5/4 * 4 = 5 quarts

So the number of quarts needed to fill the engine to capacity will be 5 quarts - 3 quarts = 2 quarts
