Question

Hint: There are 4 cups in 1 quart.
quarts

Answer 1

3 quarts are left.

Allie initially had 6 quarts of orange juice, which is equivalent to 24 cups (6 quarts x 4 cups). She gave away 2 cups to each of the 8 family members, totaling 16 cups (2 cups x 8 people). Thus, she used a total of 16 cups of orange juice, leaving 8 cups (24 cups - 16 cups) or 2 quarts (8 cups / 4 cups) left.
