Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Note:

1 gal = 4 quarts

1 pint = 0.5 quart

Re-writing all the choices in dollars and quarts and calculating how much each quart costs

A)  $1 per 1 quart

B)  $2 per gallon = $2 per 4 quarts = $2 ÷ 4 quarts = $0.50 per quart

C)  $1.50 per 2 quarts = $1.50 ÷ 2 quarts = $0.75 per quart

D)  $0.50 per 1 pint = $0.50 per 0.5 quart = $0.50 ÷ 0.5 quart = $1 per quart

If you compare all of the above, it is clear that answer B ($0.50 per quart) is the cheapest rate and hence the best deal.
