A.16
B.24
C.30
D.64

Answer 1

16 will be the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

Option A.16 is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

As given : 1 gallon = 4 quarters

So, amount of gallons to be filled with = 4 gallons

                                                                = 4 × 4

                                                                = 16 quarters

Now, 1 quarter = 2 pint

⇒ 16 quarters = 16 × 2 pint

                       = 32 pint

$\text{Now, we need to fill maximum number of half pint bottles = }\frac{1}{2}\times 32\\\\\bf\implies\textbf{Hence, Maximum number of half pint bottles = }16\text{ pint}$

So, Option A. is correct
