franks measurement cups hold 4 and 1/2 gallons of liquid is there are five quarters in the measuring cup now, how more quarts of liquid does frank need to add to fill the measuring cup to capacity
These is the choices 4 q 9 q 13 q 18 q
Frank needs to add 3 quarts of liquid to fill the measuring cup to capacity.
the q means quarts
4 1/2 gal = 18 qt
5/4 gal = 5 qt
robot is wrong again...
thanks
so what is the answer
To determine how many more quarts of liquid Frank needs to add to fill the measuring cup to capacity, we first need to find out how many quarts the measuring cup can hold.
Given that the measuring cup can hold 4 and 1/2 gallons of liquid, we can convert this amount to quarts.
1 gallon is equal to 4 quarts, so 4 and 1/2 gallons is equal to (4 x 4) + (1/2 x 4) = 16 + 2 = 18 quarts.
Now, if there are already five quarters (5 x 1/4 = 5/4 quarts) in the measuring cup, we can subtract this amount from the total capacity of the cup to find out how many more quarts Frank needs to add.
18 quarts - 5/4 quarts = 72/4 quarts - 5/4 quarts = (72 - 5)/4 quarts = 67/4 quarts.
Therefore, Frank needs to add 67/4 quarts of liquid to fill the measuring cup to capacity.
