Question

Write an expression you could use to convert 2.5 gallons into quarts

Answer 1

4 quarts = 1 gallon, so 2.4 gallons = (4) (2.4) quarts. So 2.4 (4) is the expression you could use to convert it.

Answer 2

Answer:

2.5 gallons are equal to 10 quarts.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 1 gallon is equivalent to 4 quarts.

Let's call $g$ gallons and $q$ quarts. An expression that represents the transformation between these two units is

$q=4g$

This expression represents the conversion factor we described at the beginning.

So, if we have 2.5 gallons, using the expression, we find the number of quarts

$q=4(2.5)\\q=10$

Therefore, 2.5 gallons are equal to 10 quarts.
