Question

$\text{A water tank has a storage capacity of}$ $\text{10 quarts.}$
$\text{Calculate the number of cups in 10 quarts.}$

• A. $50$
• B. $60$
• C. $30$
• D. $40$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $40$

$\text{We have to convert 10 quarts to cups.}$

$\text{As we know that,}$
$\text{1 quart (qt) = 2 pints (pt)}$


$\text{And, 1 pint (pt) = 2 cups (c)}$


$\text{Let's calculate the number of cups}$ $\text{needed for 10 quarts:}$

$⟹\text{1 quart = 2 pints}$
$⟹\text{1 pint = 2 cups}$

$⟹\text{1 quart = 2}\times 2$
$\text{= 4 cups}$

$⟹\text{10 quarts = 10}\times 4\text{cups}$
$\text{= 40 cups}$

$\text{Hence, there are 40 cups in 10 quarts.}$
