First, we need to convert all the measurements to gallons to make it easier to calculate:
- 4 quarts of milk = 1 gallon
- 10 pints of coconut milk = 5/2 gallons
- 16 fl oz of honey = 1/8 gallons
- 2 cups of gold syrup = 1/8 gallons
Now let's add up all the gallons Mr. Smith has:
1 (milk) + 5/2 (coconut milk) + 1/8 (honey) + 1/8 (gold syrup) = 9/4 + 5/2 + 1/8 + 1/8 = 9/4 + 10/4 + 1/8 + 1/8 = 20/4 + 2/8 = 5 + 1/4 = 5.25 gallons
Since Mr. Smith only has 1 gallon containers, he will be able to fully fill 5 containers and will have 0.25 gallons left over.
Mr. Smith is making a squash for his students. He has 4 quarts of milk, 10 pints of coconut milk, 16 fl oz of honey, 2 cups of gold syrup. If Mr. Smith only has 1 gal containers, how many 1 gal containers will be fully filled?
