Question

chin canned a number of quart jars and a number of pint jars of tomatoes from his garden. a pint is 16 ounces and a quart is 32 ounces. the number of pints he canned is represented by p, and the number of quarts he canned is represented by q. which equation models the scenario if chin canned a total of 1,280 ounces?
○ 1,280 + 16p = 32q
○ 1,280 + 32q = 16p
○ 32q - 16p = 1,280
○ 16p + 32q = 1,280

Explanation:

Step1: Determine ounces from pints

Each pint jar is 16 ounces, and there are \( p \) pint jars. So total ounces from pints: \( 16p \).

Step2: Determine ounces from quarts

Each quart jar is 32 ounces, and there are \( q \) quart jars. So total ounces from quarts: \( 32q \).

Step3: Total ounces equation

Total ounces (1280) is sum of ounces from pints and quarts. So \( 16p + 32q = 1280 \).

Answer:

\( 16p + 32q = 1280 \) (the fourth option: \( 16p + 32q = 1280 \))
