5 quarts
16 cups
9 pints
2 gallons
1gallon

Answer 1

To determine which of the measurements are greater than one hundred thirty fluid ounces, we need to convert each measurement to fluid ounces.

1. **5 quarts:**
1 quart = 32 fluid ounces
5 quarts = 5 * 32 = 160 fluid ounces

2. **16 cups:**
1 cup = 8 fluid ounces
16 cups = 16 * 8 = 128 fluid ounces

3. **9 pints:**
1 pint = 16 fluid ounces
9 pints = 9 * 16 = 144 fluid ounces

4. **2 gallons:**
1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces
2 gallons = 2 * 128 = 256 fluid ounces

5. **1 gallon:**
1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces

Now, comparing each result to 130 fluid ounces:

- **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 greater than 130 fluid ounces are:

- **5 quarts**
- **9 pints**
- **2 gallons**
