Answer 2

Answer:

She should divided 6 by 4 to find the gallons in 6 quarts.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

4 quarts=1 gallon

We have to find how many gallons in 6 quarts.

To find the gallons in 6 quarts we will use the unitary method.

Using unitary method

4 quarts=1 gallon

1 quart=$\frac{1}{4}$ gallons

6 quarts=$\frac{1}{4}\times 6$gallons

6 quarts$=\frac{3}{2}$ gallons

After dividing then, we get

6 quarts=1.5 gallons

Hence, she should divided 6 by 4 to find the gallons in 6 quarts.
