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?
Julius bought 2 pints of milk, which is 1 quart, 2 quarts of orange juice, which is 1/2 gallon, 16 cups of chocolate milk, which is 1 gallon, and 32 ounces of lemonade, which is 1 quart.
So in total, he bought 1 + 1/2 + 1 + 1/4 = 2 3/4 gallons of beverages.
Since he bought two containers of each beverage, he bought a total of 2 x 2 3/4 = 5 1/2 gallons of beverages.
Therefore, Julius bought 5 1/2 gallons of beverages for brunch.
