mikes truck engine holds 1 1/4 gallons of oil if there are 3 quarts of oil in the engine now how many more quarts of oil does mike need to add to fill the engine capacity?

-(hint i gallon is 4 quarts)

its c

1 1/4 gallons = 5 quarts

so whats the answer?

thanks blah you were right

yep

To find out how many more quarts of oil Mike needs to add to fill the engine capacity, we first need to convert the given capacity from gallons to quarts.

Since 1 gallon is equal to 4 quarts, we can determine that 1 1/4 gallons would be equal to (1 * 4) + (1/4 * 4) = 4 + 1 = 5 quarts.

Now, we need to calculate how many more quarts of oil Mike needs to add to the existing 3 quarts.

The current amount of oil in the engine is 3 quarts, and the engine's capacity is 5 quarts. Therefore, to find the difference, we subtract the current amount from the capacity: 5 - 3 = 2.

Mike needs to add 2 more quarts of oil to fill the engine to its capacity.
