Beverages at the store: 2 pints of milk; 2 quarts of orange juice; 16 cups of chocolate milk; and 32 fluid 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?
First, we need to convert all the measurements to gallons so that we can add them together:
- 2 pints of milk = 1/2 gallon
- 2 quarts of orange juice = 1/2 gallon
- 16 cups of chocolate milk = 1 gallon
- 32 fluid ounces of lemonade = 1/4 gallon
Now we can add them up:
- 2 containers of milk = 1 gallon
- 2 containers of orange juice = 1 gallon
- 2 containers of chocolate milk = 2 gallons
- 2 containers of lemonade = 1/2 gallon
Total = 5.5 gallons
So Julius bought 5.5 gallons of beverages.
