Question

Which is more, 159 fluid ounces or 5 quarts?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

There are 32 ounces in 1 quart, or:

`1" quart" = 32" ounces"`

We can find the number of ounces in 5 quarts by multiplying each side of the equation by `color(red)(5)` giving:

`color(red)(5) xx 1" quart" = color(red)(5) xx 32" ounces"`

`5" quart" = 160" ounces"`

Therefore:

#5 quarts is greater than 159 fluid ounces
