Answers

1. Answer :

2 pints into cups : 

Here, we convert bigger unit into smaller unit. So we have to multiply.

2 pints  =  2 ⋅ 2 cups 

2 pints  =  4 cups

So, 2 pints is equal to 4 cups.

2. Answer :

Convert 3.5 quarts into cups : 

Here, we convert bigger unit into smaller unit. So we have to multiply.

3.5 quarts  =  3.5 ⋅ 4 cups

3.5 quarts  =  14 cups

So, 3.5 quarts is equal to 14 cups.

3. Answer :

32 cups into quarts :

Here, we convert smaller unit into bigger unit. So we have to divide.

32 cups  =  32/4 quarts 

32 cups  =  8 quarts

So, 32 cups is equal to 8 quarts.

4. Answer :

256 cups into gallons : 

Here, we convert smaller unit into bigger unit. So we have to divide.

256 cups  =  256/16 gallons 

256 cups  =  16 gallons

So, 256 cups is equal to 16 gallons.

5. Answer :

24 quarts into gallons :

Here, we convert smaller unit into bigger unit. So we have to divide.

24 quarts  =  24/4 gallons 

24 quarts  =  6 gallons 

So, 24 quarts is equal to 6 gallons.

6. Answer :

No. of pints prepared in 2 hours  =  60

No. of pints prepared in 1 hour  =  30

1 hour  =  60 minutes

1 pint  =  2 cups

1 hour -----> 30 pints

60 minutes -----> 30 ⋅ 2 cups

60 minutes -----> 60 cups

So, no. of cups prepared in 60 minutes is 60.

No. of cups prepared in in one minute is 

=  60/60  

=  1 cup

So, 1 cup of juice is prepared in 1 minute.

7. Answer :

No. of cups used in 45 minutes  =  15840

No. of cups used in 1 minute  =  15840/45

No. of cups used in 1 minute  =  352

So, 352 cups of fuel used in 1 minute. 

8. Answer :

Half gallon of water -----> 1 drop of bubble bath

1 gallon of water -----> 2 drops of bubble bath

12 gallons of water -----> 12 ⋅ 2 drops of bubble bath

12 gallons of water -----> 24 drops of bubble bath

So, Kemka can put into 24 drops of bubble bath for her sister with 12 gallons of water. 

9. Answer :

1 gallon  =  4 quarts

40 gallons  =  40 ⋅ 4 quarts  =  160 quarts

So, he needs 160 quarts of gas to make his truck full of gas.

Once in a time, he can fill up 8 quarts of gas. 

No. of times of filling to make the truck full of gas is

=  160/8

=  20

So, Ivan has to fill up his gas can 20 times to get his truck full of gas.

10. Answer :

No. of gallons used when Mrs. Hitchins has a bath :

=  83 -----(1)        

No. of gallons used when Mrs. Hitchins has a shower : 

=  34 -----(2)  

Water saved  =  Difference between (1) and (2)

Water saved  =  83 - 34

Water saved  =  49

So, 49 gallons water will be saved, if Mrs. Hitchins decides to have a shower.

11. Answer :

4 L 300 ml, 6 L 900 ml and 104 L 99 ml

1209 ml = 1000 ml + 209 ml

1 L and 209 ml

114 L + 1 L ==> 115 L 209 ml

12. Answer :

Find the difference of 89 L 361 ml and 320 L 372 ml.

So, the difference is 272 L 11 ml

13. Answer :

Quantity of sold on first day = 20 L 530 ml

Quantity of sold on second day = 39 L 400 ml

Total quantity = (20 + 39) L + (530 + 400) ml

= 59 L 930 ml

14. Answer :

The sum of 50 L 895 ml and 250 L 895 ml and 250 L 396 ml.

= (50 + 250 + 250) L + (895 + 895 + 396) ml

= 550 L 2186 ml

= 550 L + 2000 ml + 186 ml

= 552 L 186 ml

Difference = 552 L 186 ml - 25 L 250 ml

(551 - 25) + (1025 + 186 - 250)

= 526 L 961 ml

15. Answer :

= 500 L 750 ml - 100 L 790 ml 

= (500 - 100) L + (750 - 790)

= (499 - 100) L + (1750 - 790) ml

= 399 L 960 ml
