A gallon of unleaded gasoline weighs about 6 pounds. About how many ounces does 3 quarts of unleaded gasoline weigh?

Answer 1

There are 4 quarts in a gallon. To find out what 1 quart of gasoline weighs divide the total number of pounds by 4.

6 / 4 = 1.5 pounds

To find out how much 3 quarts weighs, multiple the weight of 1 quart (1.5 pounds) by 3

3 x 1.5 = 4.5 pounds

There are 16 ounces in a pound. To find out how many ounces, multiply 4.5 pounds by 16 oz

4.5 x 16 =

I'll let you do the math for that last part.

Answer 2

1 gal = 4 qt.

3 qt = (3/4) gal

(3/4) 6 oz = 4.5 oz
