Question

2 pints of milk
2 quarts of orange juice
16 cups of chocolate milk
32 ounces of lemonade
Julius is buying beverages for brunch. He needs to buy a total of 5 gallons of beverages. He decides to buy two containers of each beverage. How many gallons of beverages did he buy?

Answer 1

First, let's convert all the measurements to gallons:

2 pints of milk = 1 gallon
2 quarts of orange juice = 0.5 gallon
16 cups of chocolate milk = 1 gallon
32 ounces of lemonade = 0.25 gallon

Total gallons of beverages:
Milk: 1 gallon x 2 = 2 gallons
Orange juice: 0.5 gallon x 2 = 1 gallon
Chocolate milk: 1 gallon x 2 = 2 gallons
Lemonade: 0.25 gallon x 2 = 0.5 gallons

Total gallons bought:
2 + 1 + 2 + 0.5 = 5 gallons

Julius bought a total of 5 gallons of beverages.
