Answer:
16 times
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Edgardo has a drink cooler that holds 4 gallons of water.
He is filling the cooler with a 1−quart container.
Question asked:
How many times will he have to fill the quart container to fill the cooler?
Solution:
Capacity of container = 1 quart
As we know:
1 quart = 0.25 gallon
Edgardo has to fill drink cooler having capacity of 4 gallons.
0.25 gallon is filled by filling the container = 1 time
1 gallon is filled by filling the container = [tex]\frac{1}{0.25}[/tex] times
4 gallons is filled by filling the container = [tex]\frac{1}{0.25}\times4=16\ times[/tex]
Thus, he will have to fill the quart container 16 times to fill the cooler.
