Beverages at the store

Question

2 pints of milk
2 quarts of orange juice
16 cups of chocolate milk
32 ounces of lemonade

Julius is buying beverages for brunch. He needs to buy a total of 5 gallons of beverages. He decides to buy to containers of each beverage. How many gallons of beverages did he buy?

Answer 1

First, let's convert all the measurements to gallons:
- 2 pints of milk = 1 pint = 1/8 gallon, so 2 pints = 1/4 gallon
- 2 quarts of orange juice = 2 quarts = 1/2 gallon
- 16 cups of chocolate milk = 16 cups = 1 gallon
- 32 ounces of lemonade = 32 ounces / 128 = 1/4 gallon

Now, let's calculate how many gallons Julius bought:
- 2 containers of milk = 2 * 1/4 = 1/2 gallon
- 2 containers of orange juice = 2 * 1/2 = 1 gallon
- 2 containers of chocolate milk = 2 * 1 = 2 gallons
- 2 containers of lemonade = 2 * 1/4 = 1/2 gallon

Adding all the beverages together, Julius bought:
1/2 + 1 + 2 + 1/2 = 4 gallons

Julius bought a total of 4 gallons of beverages.
