Question

Scott and Nikki each have a full 1.5-gallon container of liquid laundry detergent. The lid on Scott’s container can hold 3 fluid ounces of detergent, while the lid on Nikki’s container can hold 4 fluid ounces of detergent. How many more lids full of detergent does Scott have than Nikki?

Answer 1

scott has 16 more lid fulls of detergent than nikki. First you need to convert 1.5 gallons to ounces which is 192. Then divide 192 by 3 and you get 64. Then divide 192 by 4 and you get 48. So then subtract 48 from 64 and you get 16.
