Answer:

4 containers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Noelle collected 3 quarts 1 pint of liquid from the first table, the amount of liquid collected in quarts is 3 quarts + 1 pint = 3 quarts + 1 pint × 1 quarts/2 pints = 3 quarts + 0.5 quarts = 3.5 quarts.

She also collected 4 quarts from the second table, 2 quarts from the third table.

Finally, she collected collected 3 quarts 1 pint of liquid from the fourth table, the amount of liquid collected in quarts is 3 quarts + 1 pint = 3 quarts + 1 pint × 1 quarts/2 pints = 3 quarts + 0.5 quarts = 3.5 quarts.

So, the total amount of liquid she collected in quarts is V = 3.5 quarts + 4 quarts + 2 quarts + 3.5 quarts = 7.5 quarts + 5.5 quarts = 13 quarts

We now convert this value to gallons to know the amount of containers Noelle needs since she has one gallon containers.

13 quarts = 13 × 1 quarts = 13 quarts × 1 gallon/4 quarts = 13/4 gallons = 3.25 gallons

Since the total amount of liquid is 3.25 gallons = 3 gallons + 0.25 gallons, Noelle would need 4 containers since 3 containers would contain the first 3 gallons and the fourth container would contain the remaining 0.25 gallons.

So, Alyssa would need 4 containers.

Follow the steps for 8
(1) 8 * 2 = 16
(2) 16 * 5 = 80
Note: you could just combine the first 2 steps and multiply by 10 to start with. Much easier: just add a 0 onto 8.
(3a) 12 * 8 = 96
(3b)  96 - 24 = 72
(3c) So you want to take 1/2 72 which is 36
(4)   36 + 80 = 116

Let's try this  with x.
(2) x * 10 = 10x
(3) 1/2 (12*x - 24)
(3) 10x + 1/2 (12x - 24)
(3) 10x + 6x - 12
(4) 16x - 12

Problem B
Math wiz would add 12 to the number given to her and then divide by 16. That's pretty complicated to do quickly. 

For example Let the original number be 1221
(2) Multiply by 10 12210
(3) Take 1/2 the difference between 12 times 1221 and 24 which is 1/2(14652 - 24) = 7314
And add this result to 12210 
7314 + 12210 = 19524

Tell her the number. She has to add 12
19524 + 12 = 19536  And divide by 16
to get 1221. 
Pretty complex even for a wizard.
