Question

Convert the measurement as indicated. 79 pt=​__ gal​ __ qt​ __ pt

Answer 1

9 gal. 3 qt. 1 pt.

Explanation:

We know 8 pints is one gallon, so we can use this to determine the whole gallons. 72 / 8 is 9, so there are 9 whole gallons.

Next, we solve for the quarts. Each quart has 4 pints, and we have 7 pints left, so we have 1 quart.

Then, we have 3 pints leftover, so we have 3 for pints.
