Question

How many quarts are equivalent to `14` `1/2` gallons?

Answer 1

`14 1/2 "gal"="58 qt"`

Explanation:

`"4 qt=1 gal"`

Convert `14 1/2` into an improper fraction. `(((2xx14)+1))/2=29/2 "gal"`

Multiply the improper fraction times the conversion factor with quarts in the numerator.

`29/2cancel"gal"xx(4"qt")/(1cancel"gal")="58 qt"`
