2 pints of milk
2 quarts of orange juice
16 cups of chocolate milk
32 ounces of lemonade
1. Julius is buying beverages for brunch. He needs to buy a total of 5 gallons of beverages. He decides to buy two containers of each beverage. How many gallons of beverages did he buy?
milk: 4 pints = 1/2 gal
OJ: 4 quarts = 1 gal
choc milk: 32 cups = 8 quarts = 2 gal
lemonade 64 fl oz = 2 qt = 1/2 gal
so now just add 'em up
To find the total amount of beverages Julius bought, we need to add up the quantities of each beverage he purchased.
First, we need to convert all the given measurements to gallons, as he wants a total in gallons.
1 pint = 1/8 gallon (since there are 8 pints in a gallon)
2 pints = (2/8) gallons = 1/4 gallon
1 quart = 1/4 gallon (since there are 4 quarts in a gallon)
2 quarts = (2/4) gallons = 1/2 gallon
1 cup = 1/16 gallon (since there are 16 cups in a gallon)
16 cups = (16/16) gallons = 1 gallon
1 ounce = 1/128 gallon (since there are 128 ounces in a gallon)
32 ounces = (32/128) gallons = 1/4 gallon
Now we can add up the converted quantities:
2 containers of milk = 2 * 1/4 gallon = 1/2 gallon
2 containers of orange juice = 2 * 1/2 gallon = 1 gallon
2 containers of chocolate milk = 2 * 1 gallon = 2 gallons
2 containers of lemonade = 2 * 1/4 gallon = 1/2 gallon
Finally, we add up all the quantities to find the total:
1/2 + 1 + 2 + 1/2 = 2 + 1 = 3.
So, Julius bought a total of 3 gallons of beverages.
