Given that there are 4 quarts, 8 pints, or 16 cups in 1 gallon, which of the following amounts is greater than 2 gallons? Select all that apply.
A) 5 quarts, 2 pints
B) 1 gallon, 3 quarts
C) 9 quarts
D) 40 cups
E) 1 gallon, 9 pints
To determine which amounts are greater than 2 gallons, we need to convert each option to gallons and compare them.
1) 5 quarts, 2 pints = 1.25 gallons + 0.125 gallons = 1.375 gallons
2) 1 gallon, 3 quarts = 1 gallon + 0.75 gallons = 1.75 gallons
3) 9 quarts = 2.25 gallons
4) 40 cups = 2.5 gallons
5) 1 gallon, 9 pints = 1 gallon + 0.5625 gallons = 1.5625 gallons
Therefore, the options that are greater than 2 gallons are:
A) 5 quarts, 2 pints
C) 9 quarts
D) 40 cups
