Question

Zen received $16$ quarts from Ben, who had $48$ quarts. What was the number of gallons Ben has left?

• A. $8$
• B. $10$
• C. $16$
• D. $4$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $8$

Note: $4$ quarts $=1$ gallon

Given that: Number of quarts that initially Ben had $=48$
So, number of gallons that Ben had
$=\frac{48}{4}$
$=12$

Number of quarts given to Zen $=16$
So, number of gallon given to Zen
$=\frac{16}{4}$
$=4$
Hence, number of gallons left with Ben
$=12-4$
$=8$
