Pancake Palace puts a pint of maple syrup on each one of their 16 tables. The owner is filling the syrup bottles before the restaurant opens. If the bottles are half full, how many quarts would he need to fill the bottles?

There are a total of 2 quarts in a 1 pint. Therefore, since there are a total of 16 tables and each one has 1 pint, then there are a total of 16 pints in the restaurant. If we multiply this by 2 we get the total amount of quarts of maple syrup in all of the tables

16 * 2 = 32 quarts of maple syrup

Since the bottles are only half full we need to multiply this amount by 2 in order to get the total syrup needed to have all of the bottles filled completely.

32 * 2 = 64 quarts of maple syrup needed

Answer:

4 Quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find how much maple syrup the owner needs to fill the bottles. But first, you need to find how much syrup the bottles hold in all.

There are 16 bottles. Each bottle holds 1 pint of maple syrup. So, the bottles hold a total of 16 pints of syrup.

Now, find how much maple syrup the owner needs. The bottles hold a total of 16 pints of syrup. Because they are half full, divide by 2.

16÷2=8

The owner needs 8 pints of maple syrup, but the problem asks about quarts. So, find how many quarts are equal to 8 pints. There are 2 pints in a quart, so divide by 2.

8÷2=4

The owner needs 4 quarts of maple syrup to fill the bottles.
