If one gallon = 4 quarts
Then 5 gallons = x quarts
To solve this we can set up a porportion
1/4 = 5/x
To solve the porportion we need to find the rule so how to we get to 4 from 1? Well we can multiply 1 by 4 to get one right?
So if this is true, 1 x 4 = 4 then 5 x 4 must equal x
5 x 4 = 20 so the answer would be 20 quarts are in 5 gallons
Another way to look at this is that you have 5 gallons and in each gallon is 4 quarts to if there is 4 quarts in every one gallon then that’s just 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 or 5 x 4
I hope this helps! <3

Complete question :
Each state imposes its own excise tax on gasoline. Suppose, for example, that the state of Massachusetts imposes a state gasoline tax of $0.26 per gallon. Suppose further that an average of 1,022,000 gallons of gasoline per day were sold in Massachusetts in 2010. The average revenue from gasoline tax in 2010 is approximately?
Answer:
$265,720
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
State gasoline tax = $0.26 per gallon
Average number of gasoline sold per day = 1,022,000 gallons
. From the availabke information given :
Revenue generated = gasoline tax per gallon multiplied by the average number of gallons sold
= $0.26 * 1,022,000
= $265,720
