Question

Simple syrup is made with a 1:1 ratio of water and sugar. How many gallons of simple syrup can be made from 3 quarts of water?

Answer 1

0.75 gallons.

Explanation:

To make simple syrup with a 1:1 ratio of water to sugar, you would need an equal amount of sugar for the given amount of water.

In your case, if you have 3 quarts of water, you would also need 3 quarts of sugar to make the simple syrup.

Now, let’s convert quarts to gallons. There are 4 quarts in a gallon, so 3 quarts is equivalent to 0.75 gallons.

Therefore, you can make 0.75 gallons of simple syrup from 3 quarts of water and 3 quarts of sugar.

Answer 2

1.5 gallons

Explanation:

You would need 3 quarts of sugar for 3 quarts of water. Since 3+3 is 6 quarts, and 4 quarts are in 1 gallon, you divide 6 by 4 to get 1.5.
