Given
Meredith found the partial containers of detergent in the basement:
1/2 quart , 1 1/4 gallons and 3/4 gallons.
Find
How much detergent did Meredith discover overall, in quarts.
Solution
given the number of partial containers of detergent in the basement are:
1/2 quart , 1 1/4 gallons and 3/4 gallons.
total quarts of detergent meredith found = ?
convert gallons to quart.
1 1/4 = 4×1+1/4 = 5/4 gallons
⇒ 1 gallon = 4 quart
5/4 gallons = 5/4 × 4 = 5 quarts
3/4 gallons = 3/4 × 4 = 3 quarts
total quarts of detergent = 1/2 ₊ 5 ₊ 3 = 1 ₊ 10 ₊ 6/2
= 17/2
= 8.5 quarts
hence total quarts of detergent Meredith found is 8.5 quarts.
