Question

The capacity of a barrel is 12 gallons. The capacity of a small pail is 3 quarts. It takes __________pails of water to fill a barrel.

  1. 7
  2. 13
  3. 16
  4. 19

hintHint:

1 gallon=4 quarts
Divide the capacity of the barrel with the capacity of the pail to find the number of pails required

The correct answer is: 16


    1 gallon=4 quarts
    Capacity of the barrel=12 gallons=12cross times4=48 quarts
    Capacity of the pail=3 quarts
    Therefore the number of small pails required to fill the barrel will be:48 over 3=16
    So it will take 16 pails of water to fill a barrel.

    Remember the conversion formula from gallon to quarts and learn how to find the number of cups required.
