Question

A cafetaria serves 280 pints of milk every day. How many quarts of milk does the cafetaria serve each day?

• A. 65 quarts
• B. 140 quarts
• C. 560 quarts
• D. 120 quarts

Answer 1

The correct option is B 140 quarts

The cafetaria serves 280 pints of milk every day.

1 quart = 2 pints

Therefore, 1 pint = $\frac{1}{2}$ quart

280 pints = 280 $\times \frac{1}{2}quarts$

= 140 quarts

The cafetaria serves 140 quarts of milk each day.
