Question

A cylinder holds 54 quarts of water if the cylinder is filled with 42 pints of water how many quarts of water can the cylinder hold(1 quart = 2 pints)

Answer 1

The cylinder can hold 33 more quarts of water.

Explanation:

First, we would change pints to quarts.

1q=2p

?q=42p

42/2=21

so ? = 21

then we would subtract 21 from 54, which would give us 33.
