1 gallon = 4 quarts
Answered by john paul
i know that! but i don't know how to work it out!!
Answered by Ms. Sue
You can set up a proportion:

2.5 / 5 = x / 1

Solve for x. You'll get less than 1 gallon.

Answered by Damon
multiply by the conversion so that the units you do not want cancel

2.5 qt * (1 gal/4 qt) leaves ? gal

You had a qt on the top and a qt on the bottom so the qt units canceled and you are left with gallons
Answered by Ms. Sue
Oops -- it should be 2.5/4 = x/1

Thanks Damon for correcting this.
