Question

Lin knows that there are 4 quarts in a gallon. She wants to convert 6 quarts to gallons, but cannot decide if she should multiply 6 by 4 or divide 6 by 4 to find her answer. What should she do? Explain or show your reasoning. If you get stuck, consider drawing a double number line or using a table.

Answer 1

(the answer is 1.5 i did a step by step to get this answer tho, she will use 6 too btw)imma do a step by step for this so for this one you’ll need to use a chart,(that’s what we’re learning so why not use it) label your chart as quarts and gallons put the 4 under the quarts and 1 under the gallons. then do 6 divided by 4 to get 1.5. then multiply both sides of them on the chart by 1.5. then your answer will be 1.5 . “Lin will need to use 6 to get her answer, 1.5” hope that helps!!

Answer 2

Answer:

1.5 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

she can cross multiply

4 quart     1 gallon

6 quarts    ? gallon

6x1=6

4 times x = 4x

6=4x    cross out 4 and x remains

4   4     6 divided by 4=1 .5

1.5 = x

6 quart is 1.5 gallons
