Question

Araron picked 14 pints of bottled water into a cooler for the family road trip. How many gallons of water did he pack into the cooler?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.75 gallons

1 pint = 0.125 gallon

With that information, we can write a proportion:

$\frac{1 pint}{0.125 gallons}$ = $\frac{14 pints}{x}$

Cross multiply:

x = 1.75 gallons
