How many quarts are in \(2 \frac{3}{4}\) gallons?

Asked by angelam1322

Answer (3)

A gallon consists of 4 quarts so you want to do is convert the mixed number: 2+3/4 into an improper fraction: 11/4. But you ignore the /4 part because a quart = a gallon/4. So the 4s cancel out and you're left with 11. So the answer is 11 quarts in 2 3/4 gallons.

In 2 4 3 ​ gallons, there are 11 quarts. This is calculated by converting the mixed number to an improper fraction and then multiplying by 4 quarts per gallon. Hence, the result is 11 quarts.
