maddie bought 10 quarts of ice cream.How many gallons and quarts of ice cream did maddie buy?Explain how you found your answer

Question

i really need a lot of help

 

Answer 1

Hi Joealis,

 

What you need to use is this conversion: 1 liquid Gallon = 4 liquid Quarts.

 

Since Maddie bought 10 Quarts of ice cream, we can convert to Gallons by dividing the total quantity by 4 quarts. Since 4 goes into 10 two times with a remainder of 2, we can write (10 quarts/4 quarts) = 2 Gallons and 2 quarts of ice cream.

 

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

There are 4 quarts in a gallon.

 

That means 8 quarts is 2 gallons.

 

Therefore if you have 10 quarts you 2 have gallons and then 2 quarts left (you can't make another gallon out of the 2 quarts)

 

10 quarts = 2 gallons and 2 quarts.
