Question

A health clinic has 3 1/2 quarts and 1 gallon of antiseptic wash in inventory.How many fluid ounces of antiseptic wash do they have on hand?

Answer 1

1 gallon is 128 fluid ounces;
4 quarts make 1 gallon. 

Change the mixed unit volume of antiseptic to just one unit. Which you choose is your choice.

((3 1/2) -4)) quarts = ((7/2)+4)) quarts = (7+8/2) quarts = (15/2) quarts

15/2 quarts = 240 fluid ounces

Answer 2

Answer:

240 fluid ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

A health clinic has $3\frac{1}{2}$ quarts and 1 gallon of antiseptic wash in inventory.

We have to convert the unit of fluid in ounces.

1 quart = 32 ounces

1 gallon = 128 ounces

$3\frac{1}{2}$ quarts = $3\frac{1}{2}$ × 32 = 112 ounces

Total fluid of antiseptic wash = 112 + 128 = 240 fluid ounces

They have 240 fluid ounces of antiseptic wash in hand.
