3
quarts

quarts
C.

D.

Mieko used 1/4 of 2 gallons, which is 1/4 x 2 x 4 = 2 quarts of paint on her bedroom. She used 3 quarts on the hallway. Therefore, she used a total of 2 + 3 = 5 quarts of paint on the bedroom and hallway combined. Since she started with 2 gallons (which is 8 quarts), she has 8 - 5 = 3 quarts of paint left for the living room. Therefore, the answer is A. 3 quarts.
To find out how many quarts of paint Mieko used in the living room, we first need to determine how much paint she used in total.
Mieko bought 2 gallons of paint, which is equal to 2 * 4 = <<2*4=8>>8 quarts.
She used 1/4 of the paint in her bedroom, which is 1/4 * 8 = <<1/4*8=2>>2 quarts.
She also used 3 quarts in the hallway.
To find out how much paint she used in the living room, we subtract the amount of paint used in the bedroom and hallway from the total amount of paint:
8 - 2 - 3 = <<8-2-3=3>>3 quarts.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A. 3 quarts.
