homework 1 - jojo make up question 9 of 18 (1 point) | question attempt: 1 of unlimited

unit symbol fact
fluid ounce fl oz
cup c 1 c = 8 fl oz
pint pt 1 pt = 2 c
quart qt 1 qt = 2 pt
gallon gal 1 gal = 4 qt

fill in the blanks.
2 pt = 4 c
36 qt = 144 gal

Explanation:

Step1: Convert pints to cups

Given $1\ pt = 2\ c$, for $2\ pt$, we multiply the number of pints by 2. So $2\times2 = 4$, and $2\ pt=4\ c$.

Step2: Convert quarts to gallons

Given $1\ gal = 4\ qt$, to convert $36\ qt$ to gallons, we divide the number of quarts by 4. So $36\div4 = 9$, and $36\ qt = 9\ gal$ (the original answer of $144\ gal$ for $36\ qt$ is incorrect).

Answer:

$2\ pt = 4\ c$
$36\ qt = 9\ gal$
