Question

Write a problem that can be solved by comparing quarts and cups using a model. Include a solution. Explain why you are changing from a larger unit to a smaller unit.

Answer 1

Mia has 4 quarts of apple juice.How many cups does she have?

Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

Question: Caroline has a party in her house.She has 4 quarts of apple juice which she has to serve in cup.Find the number of cups than can be filled by apple juice?

solution: Number of quarts of apple juice=4

As we know that:

1 quart= 4 cups.

Hence, 4 quarts= 4×4=16 cups.

Hence, the number of cups that can be filled by apple juice= 16 cups.

We are changing the larger unit (i.e. quarts) to smaller unit (i.e. cups) since the juice is to be served in cups so that it would be easy for them to consume.
