Answer 1

Answer:

Briley purchased 3.75 gallons of ice cream.

And she didn't have enough ice cream for her party.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giveen:

Briley went to the grocery store to buy chocolate ice cream for her party She needed to purchase 5 gallons

She was disappointed the store only had 2 boxes that weighed a gallon.

She bought every other container of chocolate ice cream the store had.

She bought 4 pint containers and 9 quart containers.

Now, to find the ice cream quantity Briley purchased. And she have enough ice cream for her party or not.

Briley purchased 2 boxes that weighed = 1 gallon.

And the containers of 4 pint and 9 quart.

So, by conversion factor we convert pint and quart into gallon:

1 pint = 0.125 gallon

4 pint = $0.125\times 4$

4 pint = 0.5 gallon.

1 quart = 0.25 gallon

9 quart = 0.25 $\times$ 9

9 quart = 2.25 gallons.

Now, to add all the quantities of ice cream to get the ice cream Briley purchased:

$1\ gallon+0.5\ gallon +2.25\ gallons$

$=3.75\ gallons.$

Thus, Briley purchased 3.75 gallons of ice cream.

Now, to get whether she have enough ice cream for her party.

Briley needed to purchase ice cream = 5 gallons.

And, Briley purchase ice cream from grocery store = 3.75 gallons.

So, the quantity of ice cream Briley get which is 3.75 gallons is not enough and it is less than 5 gallons.

Hence, she didn't have enough ice cream for her party.

Therefore, Briley purchased 3.75 gallons of ice cream.

And she didn't have enough ice cream for her party.
