Question

30 gallons of fuel is poured equally into 5 cans. How many quarts of fuel does each can have?

• A. 20 qt
• B. 24 qt
• C. 18 qt
• D. 22 qt

Answer 1

The correct option is B 24 qt

$\text{Total amount of fuel}$ $\text{= 30 gal}$

$\text{Number of cans = 5}$

$\text{We have to find the fuel in each can}$ $\text{in quarts.}$


$\text{First of all, we will have to convert}$ $\text{gallons to quarts.}$

$\text{We know that,}$
$\text{1 gallon =}$ $\text{4 quart}$


$\text{Hence, we will multiply 30 with 4.}$

$\text{So, 30 gal}=30\times 1\text{gal}$
$=30\times 4\text{qt}$
$=120\text{qt}$

$\text{Now, let's calculate the amount of fuel of}$ $\text{in each can.}$

$\text{Let's divide 120 by 5.}$


$\text{Hence, there is 24 qt of fuel}$ $\text{in each can.}$
