Question

Ms, Money. the art teacher at Giveny school.has 3 quarts of liquid glue and 24 empty glue bottles that each hold 1cup. Does she have enough glue to fill all of the bottles? Explain

Answer 1

Question:

Solution:

There are 4 cups in every quart, so she has

`3\text{ quarts(}\frac{4\text{ cups}}{1\text{ quart}}\text{)}=12\text{ cups}`

now, if each glue bottle is equivalent to 1 cup, then Ms. Monet can fill 12 glue bottles. Note that 12 glue bottles < 24 glue bottles.

Then, the correct answer is: she does not have enough glue to fill 24 bottles.
