Using a Ratio Table

A 4-column table with 2 rows. Row 1 is labeled Gallons and row 2 is labeled quarts. Column 1 is labeled Q 1 with entries 6, blank. Column 2 is labeled Q 2 with entries 4, 16. Column 3 is labeled Q 3 with entries 3, 12. Column 4 is labeled Q 4 with entries 2, 8.

A juice company currently sells juice in gallon-size containers but wants to diversify to provide quart-size containers. If the company produces the number of gallons of juice every quarter given in the table, how many quarts will be produced in the first quarter?

quarts of juice in first quarter.

1 answer

To determine how many quarts the company will produce in the first quarter, we first need to know how many quarts are in a gallon. There are 4 quarts in a gallon.

From the ratio table provided, we can see that for the first column (Q1), the company is producing 6 gallons. To find the equivalent amount in quarts, we multiply the number of gallons by the number of quarts per gallon:

\[ \text{Quarts} = \text{Gallons} \times 4 \]

For Q1:

\[ \text{Quarts} = 6 \text{ gallons} \times 4 \text{ quarts/gallon} = 24 \text{ quarts} \]

Therefore, the company will produce 24 quarts of juice in the first quarter.
