Answer 1

Answer:

27 gallons, 2 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

The measurements are given in gallons and quarts. Lets convert everything to quarts.

We know:

4 quarts = 1 gallons

So,

Rain Barrel Capacity = 47*4  + 1 = 189 quarts

Jiko uses 12 gallon  2 quart to water flower garden = 12*4  + 2 = 50 quarts

Jiko uses 7 gallons 1 quarts to water trees = 7*4  + 1 = 29 quarts

He used up = 50 + 29 = 79 quarts

Remaining Water in Rain Barrel = 189 - 79 = 110 quarts

In gallons and quarts:

27 * 4 = 108 quarts

So, water left = 27 gallons, 2 quarts
