Beverages at the Store : 2 pints of milk; 2 quarts of orange juice; 16 cups of chocolate milk; and 32 ounces of lemonade.
1. Julius is buying beverages fro 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, let's convert all the measurements to gallons:
- 2 pints of milk = 1/2 gallon of milk
- 2 quarts of orange juice = 1/2 gallon of orange juice
- 16 cups of chocolate milk = 1 gallon of chocolate milk
- 32 ounces of lemonade = 1/4 gallon of lemonade
So in total, Julius is buying:
- 2 x 1/2 gallon of milk = 1 gallon of milk
- 2 x 1/2 gallon of orange juice = 1 gallon of orange juice
- 2 x 1 gallon of chocolate milk = 2 gallons of chocolate milk
- 2 x 1/4 gallon of lemonade = 1/2 gallon of lemonade
Adding all these up, we get:
1 + 1 + 2 + 1/2 = 4.5 gallons
So Julius bought 4.5 gallons of beverages.
