Which of the following measurements are greater than 130 fluid ounces select all that apply 5 quarts 16 cups 9 pints 2 gallons 1 gallon

1 answer

To determine which measurements are greater than 130 fluid ounces, we need to convert each of the measurements into fluid ounces.

  1. 5 quarts:

    • There are 32 fluid ounces in a quart.
    • \( 5 \text{ quarts} \times 32 \text{ fluid ounces/quart} = 160 \text{ fluid ounces} \)
  2. 16 cups:

    • There are 8 fluid ounces in a cup.
    • \( 16 \text{ cups} \times 8 \text{ fluid ounces/cup} = 128 \text{ fluid ounces} \)
  3. 9 pints:

    • There are 16 fluid ounces in a pint.
    • \( 9 \text{ pints} \times 16 \text{ fluid ounces/pint} = 144 \text{ fluid ounces} \)
  4. 2 gallons:

    • There are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon.
    • \( 2 \text{ gallons} \times 128 \text{ fluid ounces/gallon} = 256 \text{ fluid ounces} \)
  5. 1 gallon:

    • \( 1 \text{ gallon} = 128 \text{ fluid ounces} \)

Now let's summarize the findings:

  • 5 quarts = 160 fluid ounces (greater than 130)
  • 16 cups = 128 fluid ounces (not greater than 130)
  • 9 pints = 144 fluid ounces (greater than 130)
  • 2 gallons = 256 fluid ounces (greater than 130)
  • 1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces (not greater than 130)

Thus, the measurements that are greater than 130 fluid ounces are:

  • 5 quarts
  • 9 pints
  • 2 gallons
