Question

Suppose you bought 10 six-packs of soda, each six-pack containing six 12-ounce cans. How many gallons of soda did you buy?

Answer 1

Start out by calculating the number of ounces of soda:

(10 six-packs)(12 oz per six-pack)(1 gallon per 64 oz)

That's 120 ounces times (1 gallon per 64 ounces), or

1.875 gallons.

You bought 1.875 gallons of soda, or 1 7/8 gallons.
