Answer 1

Answer:

She has to buy 3 1-quart jugs of apple cider

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the amount of 1-quart Jugs if apple Cider Maria should buy if she wants to drink a pint of cider and also gift each of her 5 friends, a pint of cider each.

Firstly, we need to know the total amount of pints she needs to buy. She is taking one and gifting 5(one for each friend) ; the total amount she needs to buy is thus 1 + 5 = 6 pints of cider

Now, we need to know how many 1-quart jugs are in 6 cider pints.

Mathematically, 1 pint = 0.5 quarts

This means 6 cider pints would be = 0.5 * 6 = 3 quarts

This means that she has to buy 3 1-quart jugs
