First, let's convert everything to quarts before multiplying.

1 gallon = 4 quarts, so:

6 gallons = 6 × 4 quarts = 24 quarts.

Now, add the 3 quarts:

24 quarts + 3 quarts = 27 quarts.

Now we multiply 27 quarts by 6:

27 quarts × 6 = 162 quarts.

Next, we convert the total quarts back to gallons and quarts.

To find how many gallons are in 162 quarts, we divide by 4 (since there are 4 quarts in a gallon):

162 ÷ 4 = 40 gallons with a remainder of 2 quarts.

So, 162 quarts = 40 gallons and 2 quarts.

Thus, the final answer is:

40 gallons 2 quarts.
