Question

Deon used quarts of gasoline on a road trip. He wants to know how much gasoline was used in gallons.
(a)Create a double number line that shows quarts in gallons. Use the fact that quarts gallon.

Answer 1

To create a double number line that shows the conversion of quarts to gallons, we first need to know the conversion factor: there are 4 quarts in 1 gallon.

Here’s how you can set up the double number line:

**Double Number Line:**

```
Quarts: 0 4 8 12 16 20
|-----|-----|-----|-----|
Gallons: 0 1 2 3 4
```

**Explanation:**
- The top line represents quarts, starting from 0 and increasing in increments of 4.
- The bottom line represents gallons, starting from 0 and increasing in increments of 1.
- Each 4 quarts corresponds to 1 gallon.

If Deon used a certain number of quarts, you can find how many gallons he used by dividing the number of quarts by 4.

For example, if Deon used 8 quarts:
- \( \text{Gallons} = \frac{\text{Quarts}}{4} = \frac{8}{4} = 2 \text{ gallons} \)

Feel free to plug in the specific number of quarts Deon used into the same formula to find out the equivalent in gallons!
