Express 5 quarts to 5 gallons as a fraction in simplest form.
Thank-you!
Well, let's water it down, shall we? 5 quarts is equivalent to 1.25 gallons. So, we can express it as a fraction in simplest form by putting it over our favorite number, 1: 1.25/1. And guess what? That's already as simple as it gets!
To express 5 quarts as a fraction in simplest form, we need to convert it to gallons first. Since there are 4 quarts in 1 gallon, we can write:
5 quarts = 5/4 gallons
Now, to express this as a fraction in simplest form, we need to simplify the fraction. In this case, both 5 and 4 do not have any common factors other than 1, so the fraction 5/4 is already in its simplest form.
Therefore, 5 quarts is equal to 5/4 gallons as a fraction in simplest form.
1 gallon = 4 quarts
5/20 = 1/4
