Can someone please explain the steps to solving this problem without a calculator?
Seth drank three pints of water a day
for 6 days. How many quarts of water
did he drink
3 * 6 = 18 pints
1 quart = 2 pints
2 liters to 2qt. What is larger
You mix 2 1/2 quarts of juice with
3 1/3 quarts of ginger ale to make fruit punch. What is the ratio of the amount of juice to the amount of ginger ale in simplest form?
To solve this problem without a calculator, you will need to convert pints to quarts using the conversion factor that 1 quart is equal to 2 pints.
Step 1: Multiply the number of pints (3) by the number of days (6) to find the total number of pints Seth drank.
3 pints/day x 6 days = 18 pints
Step 2: Divide the total number of pints (18) by the conversion factor (2) to convert pints to quarts.
18 pints ÷ 2 pints/quart = 9 quarts
Therefore, Seth drank 9 quarts of water over the course of 6 days.
