Question

Multiply:

6 gallons 1 quart times 2
=
gallons
quarts

Answer 1

To multiply 6 gallons 1 quart by 2, we first need to convert everything to quarts, perform the multiplication, and then convert back to gallons and quarts.

1. **Convert 6 gallons to quarts:**
\[
1 \text{ gallon} = 4 \text{ quarts}
\]
\[
6 \text{ gallons} = 6 \times 4 = 24 \text{ quarts}
\]

2. **Add the 1 quart:**
\[
24 \text{ quarts} + 1 \text{ quart} = 25 \text{ quarts}
\]

3. **Multiply by 2:**
\[
25 \text{ quarts} \times 2 = 50 \text{ quarts}
\]

4. **Convert 50 quarts back to gallons and quarts:**
\[
1 \text{ gallon} = 4 \text{ quarts}
\]
To find out how many gallons are in 50 quarts:
\[
50 \text{ quarts} \div 4 = 12 \text{ gallons} \quad \text{(with a remainder of $2 \text{ quarts}$)}
\]

Therefore,
\[
50 \text{ quarts} = 12 \text{ gallons} + 2 \text{ quarts}
\]

So, the final answer is:

**12 gallons 2 quarts**.
